You can request a copy of his obit which should help prove if he's your Harold or not from Random Acts Genealogical Kindness. Go to www.raogk.org, read instructions, choose Oregon, choose Multnomah and look for Kristeen. She provides copies of obits.
A John R. Montgomery b. 28 June 1904, CO died 11 Sept 1969, San Diego, CA. Mother's Maiden Name=Spencer. Source: CA Death Index 1940-97, www.ancestry.com.
I'm not sure how to get an obit from CA. You can look at www.raogk.org. If that doesn't work, I'd post on the California, San Diego Co. Message Board. Successful Searching!
