Re: Frank Samagaio

2011-04-12 by lsf5275@aol.com

Here is a posting on my Facebook wall about Frank... It makes me happy that he likely went without physical suffering... at least I hope he did.

Hi Frank...sorry our meeting has happened as a result of a dear friends passing. Frank ha been a part of my life since before I was born. My mom, Debra Dawson has been friends with him since Jr. High. Frank and I continued our friendship even now that I'm in my 30's. He is an amazing person, and I am so sorry for your loss as well. ... I spoke to his sister at his funeral and she informed me that they deemed it natural causes. His weight, smoking, etc. Probably too much on his heart. If you didn't know, I'll tell you that his sister is the one that found him. He was in his recliner, eyes closed and listening to music. When she got there, he had been gone for a while. We are all hoping he went without pain, she said he looked peaceful. I am going with that...I don't want to think that he was in pain when he died. You probably didn't hear back from Helen because as you can imagine she is having a really difficult time...for she is the one that found him. Once again, we all have suffered a loss in Frank. He was a great friend to you and a voice of reason for me. I looked up to him. He drove all the way to Tahoe for my little wedding. It meant the world to me, since at that time my dad was not able to be there. It was great talking to you...I'm here if you need a stranger to listen

I suspect sleep apnea took him. I know he suffered from it. His death would have been painless

Quite possible. It was an issue Frank and I had discussed. It was a
huge issue for Greg Amov, and is an issue for me too.

Me too. However, since I quit the booze a few years back it is far less of a problem. Though I am overweight, I don't smoke and I exercise every day. I'm working on the weight.
