Rest in Peace, Ubon Joe.

 

He was such an asset to our community here, always helpful and kind.

[bamboozled]

UJ put up with us for years with style and class. And knowledge, lots of knowledge. He was the go to man here and once he weighed in on a subject you slept better knowing you had received good advice. Condolences and sympathy to the family.

[racyrick]

This is very sad news. He truly was an incredible help to many people.

My deepest condolences to his family and friends. ✌️❤️????

Ubonjoe will be sorely missed but never forgotten!

[John Drake]

The epitome of patience and equanimity. 

[Walker88]

Never met the man, but was always impressed with his breadth of knowledge and endless patience, often dealing with the same questions over and over again. Doubtful he can be replaced as a contributor, and assuming he was just as helpful and patient in all of his life, doubtful he can ever be replaced in the lives of his friends and family.

 

RIP, good man.

[n00dle]

he was one of the very few contributors or miderators on this site worthy of genuine respect.

RIP Ubon Joe, that man was a fountain of knowledge regarding immigration rules and procedures! Always came back with accurate information.

Rest in Peace Mr Ubon Joe, arguably the most informative man I know on Thailand Immigration rules and law.   You will be sorely missed...........there is a special place in Valhalla for men of your stature, your seat at the table awaits you.????   Peace be with you.

[a340bangla1]

RIP. The ultimate source of knowledge of all things concerning immigration.

[steven100]

So helpful to so many over the years.

Your impeccable knowledge was something to be proud of.

May you be at peace and may God look after you for eternity.

 

RIP Ubon Joe ... and thank you so much.

[dddave]

UbonJoe was always the one person you could count on to give clear and accurate answers to questions regarding the ever-changing and always arcane subject of Immigration and visas.  Always direct and to the point, never derisive or patronizing.

There can be few on this forum for whom UbonJoe did not provide critical information at one time or another.   He generously shared his considerable knowledge with grace.  He will be remembered by me with gratitude and respect.

Very sorry to hear this.  I remember 5 years ago when I arrived in Bangkok as a Thailand Newbie with numerous questions about visa extensions, etc.  Everyone in the forums said that "Ubon Joe is the man".  And indeed he quickly, clearly, kindly replied to a few questions that I asked.  Ubon Joe was the example of what I love with forums, news groups, social media.  Sharing.  I'll miss him.  May he rest in peace.

[pjuk]

73 is too young.

RIP Joe.

[SunsetT]

Very sad to hear this. Thanks Joe for all your help on here over the years.

 

Condolences to your family.

 

Bon Voyage!
