First-- try to write to the National Archives(NARA) for a copy of his personel records. Some people get the responce that the personal files were destroyed in a fire.
Then, you could try to contact the NARA site at College Park, MD. This is where they keep the records of the units. But these are usually filed by unit such as company so that may take time and money.
The unit history of the 88th Infantry Division entitled "The Blue Devils in Italy" by Delaney, has rosters in the back of the book. One roster is for those Killed in Action and one is for those who earned Medals. I checked----I did not find his name in either list under any of the 3 infantry regiments. All that means is that he was not killed nor earn a special medal.
There are a couple of websites that you could try. One is called Mt. Mestas at mtmestas.com that has a lot of records from the 88th Division. Gary just might have a roster or some list of names that might have his unit.
The other is a veterans website but the site is still under construction. Just maybe you can contact someone who will answer you. Good luck on that one. Link: www.88infdiv.org .
