USA friends I am Trying to find Patrick Rush

I am trying to find information about my God Father His name was Patrick Rush born 23.08.1912, I think in Ireland, and died in December 1976. in New Jersey. He arrived in New York on March 19 1951.

This ties in with my memory of him arriving to say goodbye. He had bought four tickets to travel to America, one for my mother and one each for my sister and I. I remember crying because my mother changed her mind and we stayed in UK. My mother was married but not very happy.
Paddy, as he was known, drove away in a blue sports car and we never saw him again. He did stay in touch and used to send very pretty clothes for my sister and I and then suddenly it stopped when I was about 9 years old.*about 1955

Paddy Rush iwas my Godfather and I would really like to know what happened to him, did he marry, was he happy and how did he die.

I am saying a prayer that a USA person may just know something which they could pass on

Thanks
