Looks like Gordon in 1940:

Looks like he was a long term patient.

EDIT: Looks like there were two Gordon E Patchett's born MA about the same time so will need to work out which one this is.
EDIT2: Could possibly be the same one double counted.

I have the following relatives that I cannot find a death record for

Samuel Clifford Patchett born 1879 Massachusetts
have records upto 1942 draft reg card

wife
Grace Evelyn Shurtleff born 1880 massechusetts
records upto 1940 census

John R Patchett son born 1924 Massechusetts
record found - 1940 census

Gordon Edward Patchett son born 1909 massechusetts
died in 1976 but no other records found


any help greatly appreciated
thank you
Maddie
