Don:
I don't have any direct info, but from this Website's A/C list, I see your Uncle was in the 612SQ, 1st.Lt. W.E.Cox crew.  Have you checked if his other crew members are 401BG Association members? (And you're certainly welcome to join the 401BG Association, should you not already be a member).    

By the way, 11-14-04 S.F. Chronicle Obituary article about your Uncle and his service was very, very well done - the most detailed I've ever seen about a Vet.

Checking this Website's air crew photo list, it does not appear your Uncle's crew photo is there.  The 401BG Association is always looking for photos of its crews (and names of crewmwn pictured for photos with no nams listed).  Would the Importe family be interested in providing a copy of your Uncle's crew, with the crewmen's names (like appeared in the Obituary) for the Website's air crew photo gallery? I believe either 401BG contact - George Menzel or Art Seder - could give you details.  

Good luck with your search.
