You might try the local hospital, coroner, or county records where he died.

If you didn't submit an obituary to the newspaper when your father died, chances are it didn't get printed. Families of the deceased usually notify the papers simply because it needs to be posted. If there wasn't an obituary in the paper at the time he died, then there isn't one.

One way you can search it if there was an obituary at the time of his death is to go to the newspaper's online section and search through the search engine in the newspaper. If there were a web page for that paper at the time of his death, then the search engine should pick it up.

if a family member didn't have the obituary put in the paper, then it was not ever printed, Someone has to pay them like an ad to put it in the paper, If someone did, then they should have a record of it

Just write your own obituary for him. Make it personal. Write down what you feel. The loss, the pain, the loneliness. Take it to his gravesite and read it to him.

P.S. You could put it into the papers on the anniversary date of his death.

**** just one more thing... when my grandfather passed away, the family wrote up a little script about his life. They keep stuff like than in archives for many years. Give them a call and see what it says...

Good Luck :-)

Check to see if the city where your father lived has an online newspaper. Check out the archives on obits on the webpage.

did you try the week following the date of the death sometimes it's just place on a different day
