Frank Bustamante
Ladies and Gentlemen and Friends of the Los Angeles Pool League,
The family of Frank Bustamante just called to inform us that Frank passed away this evening due to the most recent complications of his Leukemia. He suffered a mild heart attack earlier this week and contracted pneumonia.
David Boyd and I continue to be in direct contact with the family and they will advise the particulars of any services. With permission from the BOG, I will also arrange for a comprehensive obituary written on behalf of our League.
We certainly wish to provide this information and any address that would facilitate letters of condolence to his extended family.
On a personal note, I am grateful to the League Board of Governors, the Frank Bustamante Tribute Committee (Janell McKane, David Boyd, Angelo Pacella and Bill Hoover) for supporting David and I in our effort to arrange the event which afforded the large group of joyous friends that came to say goodbye to him on December 15th.
At present, we have no further details regarding time, date or location of any service.
