Would I have considered him to be notable without the obit? No, definitely not. Junior officer with a single third-level decoration. No chance of meeting . However, the fact that a major national newspaper, whose notability criteria for obits are far more stringent than ours for articles, ''did'' consider him to be notable is enough
