Using America's Obituaries from NewsBank I searched online
Anaheim Bulletin: Orange County Register weekly (CA)(5/27/2004-Current)
Anaheim Hills News: Orange County Register weekly (CA)(5/27/2004-Current)

and didn't find an obituary for a John Randall in either newspaper listed
above in January 2006.....nor any listing for a John Randall in the
continental US that month.....

I also searched here
http://obits.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/obit.cgi
to see if an obituary had been indexed and again, no John Randall listings
in 2006.....

SSDI:
JOHN A RANDALL 04 May 191805 Jan 2006 (V)last residence 92808 (Anaheim,
Orange, CA)last benefit (none specified)526-18-0335Arizona

Glad to see you used the Post-em but keep in mind that the last residence
doesn't necessarily mean the place of death
Beware of making assumptions about the state of residence at time of death.
The one listed as "Last Residence" (more properly should be called "address
of record") in SSDI is not necessarily the place of death. This was brought
home when researching an individual who died while on vacation in Florida.
His "last residence" shows up as New Hampshire, which was his legal
residence (or address of record) at the time, but that is not where he died.
Consider the possibility that a person might have had two official
residences also; many "snowbirds" do.
Read the search results carefully. The actual place of death is not shown in
the SSDI. Some records show where "last benefit" was sent, but that is not
necessarily the place of death or the deceased's address of record either.
"Last Benefit" only refers to the payment of the lump sum death benefit (a
burial allowance of about $250 that went to the surviving spouse).
