RCAF WW2 Book of Remembrance ‘Trondheim SW Approaches, Reichswald (Page 510)’ but not on The St. Edward’s School WW2 Memorial - this needs rectifying

Born in 1920 in Pennsylvania, USA. He was only at the School one term. He was in the III Form on leaving. Very little is known of this OSE except that he joined the Royal Canadian Airforce early in the war and was a Flight Lieutenant by 1945 with most of his service being in the Trondheim area. He is listed on the Trondheim Reischswald SW Approaches Memorial Board 1945. He died of cancer (a sarcoma) in a Toronto Hospital in October 1945, while still in service.
