Frankie passed away last weekend. I don't have a photo and can't recall his last name, but some of you'all know him as the fellow who was often involved with computers. He was a big guy (but not fat) with a big appetite for food and life. Quite opinionated and leaning to 'conspiracy theories.'

He was half Korean (mother) and half Filipino. Grew up in the SF Bay area of California.

He died young, about 51, of physical issues (heart and lungs?) while visiting Bangkok. Sad.

This link may help. Frank Bishop Sorry I didn't know him.

I got it from Facebook and it appears he will be cremated at temple in Bangkok reserved primarily for royals, which is quite an honor for his family.

Ah yes, but you see it is only a little after midnight on the East coast where it happened. Let the sun come up and I am sure you will find what you are looking for on the newsstand.
