cottonpusher Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Sadly Big Bill passed away this morning in the presence & I'd imagine the arms of his ever loving wife Flower. For those of you that spent time in Phuket back in the early nineties and beyond will most likely remember the big man they called Big Bill a larger than life very lovable character that loved to party he was one of the assistant managers/DJ's/MC's/Chef's & was almost a bigger attraction than the girls at the Rock Hard A-GOGO back in the day. Others may recall him from his earlier restaurant times (name escapes me) in Patpong BKK. pre Phuket. I wish you godspeed Bill it's was a pleasure to have known you for the the past 25+yrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinginKata Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 RIP Bill. Only met him casually at his last Patong business attempt. Had lunch there a few times. For sure a real larger the life character. In stark contrast to the petite quiet Flower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somtamnication Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I think I remember him. He had a deli place just south of Jungceylon, on that same back road, on a soi to the left as you head towards the road heading to Karon. He made a wicked reuben sandwich! RIP.

LivinginKata Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 That 'all night' was the Safari Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfbum Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I remember when Big Bill turned 50, he said if he knew he was going to live that long he would've taken better care of himself. Though I doubt that he would've. Bill lived large and loud. He won't be forgotten. RIP Big Bill. You were a gentle giant, and a true legend!
