unit731 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Met him 2 times. Quite a character (in a positive way). An oldie he was but with a spirit unusual for his age. Wish he has found some fun up there. From what I read here the owner of the Flamingo finally coughed up some funds - after some pushing. I met the owner of the Flamingo Hotel and some of the adult children - during my stay there. The whole family came - from Ohio - as I recall. Part of the bunch taken out at fall of Cambodia and resettled in US. Chinese restaurants - if I recall correctly - is where they made some of their money. At the time - across street - they were having constructed some other establisment. Not sure what it was going to be. During my stay Frank would wonder in and sit at bar and drink coffee. Had a few long conversations with Frank. Quite an interesting history. Managed hotels in a few different countries and continents. Me thinks his nationality was a tad ambiguous. Always friendly. And good stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Definitely a Canuck. He'd run a place in Belize that he liked, told lots of stories about that place. Good guy, RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
