I'm pretty sure he was, or that he has friends here.
I'm talking about Lance A. who was a school manager at one of the international schools in Vientiane, Laos. He interviewed me a few years back when I applied to work at the new school in Luang Prabang.
I just heard that he had a heart attack yesterday and sadly has died. He was in his 70's and leaves a wife and 2 kids.
:(
