Gaylord (Buddy) Mance

I understand Buddy (Gaylord) Mance went to Del Mar High School, and that he has somehow deceased. I found his baseball glove in the basement of 80 South 11th Street San Jose in 1976, and I still have it. It has his name on it. If anyone knows of surviving relatives or friends let me know.
