no info of Les Powell on basketball reference or Wikipedia, Is anybody had Les’ whereabouts?

According to Sports Collectors Digest, "There are 160 hand-drawn and colored sketches of the players from the original [ABA] teams, including one for Les Powell, who signed to play but never did; he was killed serving in Vietnam"

EDIT: just noticed the card also reads, "HE SERVED HIS COUNTRY WITH COURAGE AND HONOR AFTER BEING DRAFTED INTO MILITARY SERVICE ON THE SAME DAY HE SIGNED TO PLAY FOR ANAHEIM. ALTHOUGH KILLED IN ACTION ON 6/I7/69, HIS PROJECTED FIRST YEAR PRO STATS ARE SHOWN"
