Your best bet is to hit a local public library which should have free access to Ancestry.com, using that tool you can check census records to figure out who his children were and can go from there. That will only get you one generation beyond him, but from there you can possibly find obits or those family members on findagrave. 

 

Here's his service summary from WWI:
