    Hello everyone. I am sure that many remember him. I received a message the other day from her girlfriend in the Philippines. She told me heart attack brought on by depression. He was heavy into Bit Coin and it took a dump among some other problems. There is a go fund me page set up by one of his daughters trying to bring his ashes home. It is set up by Regina Parra

    Mark, thanks for posting this.

    I recall he had a heart attack a few years ago while at the El Paso terminal. If I remember right he was in his 40s at the time. I hope he found some happiness in the intervening years.

    You are welcome and yes, a few years ago he did and he was out for some time. Other then financial, he was very happy while he was living in the Philippines. Had a nice home, bought a motor bike, then he had a fall on it and hurt his back and from what he was telling me, had a issue getting meds, but then he also started to drink heavily. This is what his gf was telling me yesterday.
