The funeral home told Clarke that Esztergomy's ashes were given to his father, who was in his 80s at the time, and died about 18 months ago.

"George had a very disadvantaged life, he had a very difficult life. And he ended up in a home for people who had hardship," Clarke said. 

The search is now on to reunite Esztergomy with his family. 

Clarke is desperately trying to track down his loved ones to return the remains.
