A traditional Catholic funeral Mass for longtime newspaper editorial cartoonist Corky Trinidad will be held at 1:30 p.m. Sunday at the Newman Center on the University of Hawai'i-Manoa campus.

Francisco Flores Trinidad Jr. was better known by "Corky," the pen name he used as the Honolulu Star-Bulletin's cartoonist for nearly 40 years. Trinidad died Friday at St. Francis Hospice of complications from pancreatic cancer. He was 69.

The family is making clear that while the Mass is open to the public, it is not a memorial or secular funeral service.

The family also asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to St. Francis Hospice or the Newman Center, which is at 1941 East-West Road.

Trinidad is survived by his wife, Hana; sons, Emmanuel and Lorenzo; daughters, Pia Sprague, Lara Nishimura and Anela; brothers, Ferdie and Noel; sister, Marilyn Mapa; and two grandchildren.
