The cemetery records have his date of death as July 15, 1978, but his obituary has his date of death as July 16, 1978. His grave marker has his year of birth as 1891, but his obituary has his year of birth as 1890. His age as listed in the obituary is consistent with the year having been 1890. Actual documentary proof of the correct dates of birth and death would be gratefully received. His date of interment was July 27, 1978, so that is of no assistance.
