Her family has very little information on his time in service as he is deceased and they haven't recovered much documentation. For obvious reasons they are very proud of his service and I'm trying to dig up as much as I can to provide to them. We traveled to Pittsburgh (the area which their family is from) and found a stone of his downtown by the memorial (Not KIA). It indicates he was in the 376th Field Artillery Battalion, 82nd ABN DIV during our occupation from 1945-1947 and it sounds like he was stationed in Germany at some point during that time but I can't say for certain. Apart from Google, I'm curious as to what resources I can tap into to find out more information of his on my own. FWIW, I am also in the 82nd, so I'm naturally drawn to figuring out more of this man's life in the military and presenting it to my wife and her family. Thank you all...
