G-Pa Tom Update #2: Did he even exist?

Got the man's death certificate in the mail. My eyes went right to the Parent's names. Look what I found:

Epic fail...

This immediately told me one thing. On the same form somewhere lists his "surviving spouse" as someone named June Hammond. Not even June knew his parent's names. I understand that older people in relationships really have no need to talk about their parents, but seriously? No record of it at all? Anywhere?

It was at this point where my mom said out loud, "You know, I bet he made up the whole 'Lavere' story." After that was seeded in my head, coupled with the "Condron" on his SSI-5 form, that idea grew into agreement...
