SFcrowsnest film critic Frank Ochieng passes away (news).
Very sad news just in. One of our long-running film critics and SFcrowsnest contributors, Frank Ochieng, has passed away aged 54. He died April 12th, 2020, from what has been described as a pre-existing condition.
Frank has a degree in Law Enforcement, and another in Sociology from Suffolk University in the USA. As well as writing film reviews for SFcrowsnest, he also contributed to dozens of other online magazines as well as local U.S. newspapers. He was the film reviewer and media pundit for WBZ Radio in Boston.
He held full-time jobs in everything ranging from the Social Security office to customer service at the Microtel hotel group.
Frank was a great guy and a good-natured, gentle giant.
