Popular Post spambot Posted May 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2023 When I read the headline I was frozen in sadness, feeling almost orphaned, strangely alone in the world after his passing. I came here thirteen years ago and regard UbonJoe as having the greatest impact on my life, bringing me certainty where there was so much doubt. Over these years I have grown to recognise a great man who is respected and admired by everyone here that reads his advice. I remember my first post and reply from Joe in those early days when I was afraid and unsure, he was non judgemental, constructive and invaluable with guidance that brought me through to the place I needed to be. Most of us have never met Joe, but we have had our lives touched by this man. So like all of us on this forum I am grieving his loss, but then I feel uplifted when I read the tsunami and outpouring of love from the people he helped over so many years. This place is now strangely empty without Ubonjoe’s contributions, but this is also surely the most fitting place for his lasting epitaph given by those he supported in journeys of doubt when navigating this strange impossible land. We all have to say goodbye to a friend and a guide, but I wish I could have continued to read for many more years on this forum - ‘For the answer, wait till Ubonjoe comes along for real help’. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikosan Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Rest in Peace Joe. Sadly, I didn’t know you personally, but you advised me on a number of occasions and you were always the one to go to for any of us with visa questions. You will be greatly missed and without your unparalleled knowledge there will be a hugh void that will take some filling. My condolences to your family, both here and in the US. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elwood Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Condolences to his family.

Preacher Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Served (under another name) with him as a moderator in the Thai visa section. He was a great source of information and always there to help people. For that alone he will be missed. My condolences to his loved ones.

Popular Post Kerryd Posted May 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2023 RIP. Ubon Joe always had the best and most accurate information on Visas and Extensions and no doubt helped thousands of people during his time on this forum. He was always the person I turned to when I had a question and I remember he was always polite and well mannered no matter how many times he was asked the exact same questions over and over again. A sad loss for his family and for expats everywhere in Thailand. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussiepeter Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Very little I can add to the kind words of so many other readers. I too had noticed that Joe had been a little quiet lately, before seeing this sad news. What a giant of a man to have helped so many on here for such a long time, without question. RIP Joe - your valuable input and vast wealth of knowledge of Thai immigration matters will be sorely missed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope at some point in time AseanNow mods or close friends of Joe can do eulogy of his life. Obviously family need to approve. We all wish to acknowledge what a void he has left. Perhaps know bit more about a bloke that helped us all so much. Indeed, it would be nice to also put a face to the name. Joe helped me so much in visa matters. It will be hard to replace Joe, but you would be a candidate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
