Poetic Obituaries: [Joe Frisino] was a writer all his life,

said his daughter, Denise Frisino. He wrote poems on their lunch bags and columns about school trips and family outings, she said. He was writing a poem on the day he died.

"My father was such a reporter, he always had a pen in his hand. He was cremated with a pen in his pocket."

from Seattle Post-Intelligencer: Joe Frisino, 1919-2008: Journalist was a calm presence in P-I newsroom
