Popular Post Saigon Posted May 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2023 So sad to hear about the news I'm at a loss for words now.. I don't even remember how many times he has helped me by answering my questions, not only in the posts but also in my personal messages, and this is his last message back to me on how long I should spend in Malaysia before coming back to Thailand by land last March. I can't even believe my ears when I heard about the news.. You were my / our hero!! R.I.P. ubonjoe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dddave Posted May 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2023 Over nearly 20 years on this forum, whenever I saw the avatar of Ubonjoe, I would never fail to open it, knowing that each and every time, I would learn something. In this often contentious forum, it is gratifying to read on this memorial thread of the universal respect in which Ubonjoe was held. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaoNow Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) True, UJ was patient as a Saint. Prior to him, Lopburi3 was the TV Forum guru who had all (most) of the answers.

Popular Post OJAS Posted May 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) What tremendously sad news. With his formidable grasp of matters immigration-related across the board, he will truly be a hard act to follow on this forum. Like several others I had noticed that he had apparently gone MIA on here in recent weeks. But I had never suspected until now that it was for a reason which led to his untimely passing.

connda Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 RIP UbonJoe. Now I understand why we haven't heard much from him as of late. He was just an incredibly selfless, helpful moderator.

Popular Post connda Posted May 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) AseanNow should archive all of his posts into one Immigration Questions And Answers by UbonJoe and index it for easy searching. Filling his shoes is gonna be tough, so just let his past Immigration posts talk for him from beyond. I can't think of a more fitting tribute to him.

Actually, this would be a good use for an AI interface. Let the AI use all of UbonJoe's replies as the basis for queries, and name it Chat_UJ. ???? Now there's a tribute to the man!

bannork Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) Truly sad news for so many of us. As with voices on the radio in the past, prior the internet, where I would conjure up a picture of the speaker from his / her voice, so I imagined Ubon Joe, but from his proficient and prompt, to the point, and knowledgeable replies . His sheer volume of responses conjured up someone in his 40s to me. A person with experience but still full of energy. In fact he was much older, altruistic to the end.

swissie Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 "Short Illness"? What exactly happened to him? Irreplacable. A major loss for ASEAN NOW. Just to think that folks will have to interpret Visa Matters by way of cumbersome official visa websites is a nightmare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lite Beer Posted May 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2023 I had the pleasure to meet him on a number of occasions and he was as kind and helpful in life as he was on the forum. A lovely man. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddlinsteve Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Having lurked in these parts since 2006 myself, the least I can do to recognize Joe's value to the community in general and to me specifically is to make an effort to tap out a tribute to him and his wisdom and clarity of perception -- qualities that lit up an area that can be daunting at best and threatening to people unable to see through smokescreens as easily as he. Requiescat in pace, Ubon Joe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
