Franklyn MacCormack

I have to admit that I like to visit cemeteries, and like to visit the graves of notable people from my youth. I grew up listening to Franklyn MacCormack, and remember the night he had a heart attack on the air back in 1971. It took a while to find out that he lived in Forest Lake, IL, (and it even took some time to find out where Forest Lake is! It's a section of Lake Zurich). Does anyone know where he is buried? The Chicago Tribune obit simply states internment was private and he doesn't appear in any other database. He's not in Find A Grave, and I can't find any obit for his wife, Barbara Carlson, who used to be his secretary. If anyone has stumbled across his grave, I'd love to know where he's buried to at least drop off some flowers some day.
