    I was always extremely impressed by his sense of humor, and the strong ties he had with his partner's family. Missed, but not forgotten.

    I met him a few years back on the beach of Jomtien. That was when I also met George. If first impressions mean anything, he struck me as a total class act and genuine nice guy. I'm sad to hear of his passing.
    These are the good'ol days

    A lovely genuine gentleman. Met him many years ago originally I think possibly at the old memories bar. Would always come over to chat and go out of his way to say hello if he saw me in Pattaya when my trips and his visits from his Thai home coincided.

    Very sad indeed.

    I met John down at the Beach, we exchanged user names and talked about all the old characters that have come and gone from this Board and the others, over the years. He was known here as TOQ, (Tired Old Queen) and was here since the beginning and going farther back than that. He was here last on April 22nd. John also had his own blog that he posted to, not so much lately...but more so early on. John had a warm smile and and a warm personality that made him a pleasure to talk to. He will be missed.

    Prayers for John Lewis start tomorrow at Wat Tam.

    The final service and cremation will be Monday.

    If anything changes, I will let you know."

    -- from a text message on Thursday at 4:45 PM by John Collins, a very good friend of John's and the guy who takes care of things around TOQ's death.

    Previous times are incorrect; these times are correct.

    Prayers start Friday night at 7pm and will be held 3 nights...F/S/S nights. The final service is 2pm Monday with cremation at 3pm.

    It is suggested you arrive between 6 and 6:30 for prayers and 1:30p Monday

    RIP John

    Although can't say we where friends, just met him a few times in Pattaya over the years, it was always a joy.

    Lost quite a few people I knew over the years. Guess that is Pattaya.
    John, Colin and Bernard, I guess you guys are have a good time above.
