He Went Out For a Haircut and Never Returned

There is a lot of mystery around the disappearance of my Uncle Walter Frank Spence.

All I know is that he served in the Navy in WWII aboard the USS Salt Lake City.

He came home after his discharge to visit my dad.

The story is he went out to get a haircut and never came back. This was in the early 1950's. His whereabouts was unknown until my wife found him in the Social Security Death Index in 1999.

Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Walter Frank Spence and his whereabouts in those 40+ years. I do have pieces of information from before and we now know where and when he died.

I am looking for more details on his life from anyone that may have known him.
