Since I think the likelihood of two Thomas E. Rickards passing a way on the same day in the same town is pretty small it looks to me like his SSDI entry would support that theory since those numbers show him to have been nearly 80 at the time of death. I had no idea Social Security would have anything that fast.</font><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial" size="2">Best bet is going to be the people Sue sent a
