For those that miss the Rememberance section...

Long term Chiang Mai resident John Ball dies.

In poor health for a considerable time, John passed away peacefully of pneumonia at home on Friday 18th November.

His long term houseboy Manop was by his side.

Born in London in 1929, John served with an RAF Spitfire squadron in Singapore - which began his love of Asia.

He was a sales manager with a number of major retail companies in Britain and retired from J & P Coats before settling in Thailand.

He was active in the Chiang Mai darts league and well respected for his astute record keeping.

John has bequeathed all of his UK assets to a hospital charity in memory of his beloved son Mark, who died aged 16.

In accordance with his wishes his cremation was private.

Thanks to Lt. Sawangpong and his team from Chiang Mai Central Police for their quiet efficiency.

Special thanks to live - in nurse Charin for his compassionate assistance and care for John in his time of need.
