george Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Buckwheat Has Passed Away Thaivisa admin Martin Schulte, aka Buckwheat has passed away after a long fight with cancer. He passed away on 4.45pm on April 4 in his home town in the United States. Martin was an active member of the admin and marketing team at Thaivisa, and was our own Party General, organizing and cooking dozens of Thaivisa Member BBQ's around Thailand for many years. Buckwheat flew back to United States on New Year's Eve for cancer treatment, and we had all expected him to come back to Thailand soon. Unfortunately he didn't make it. Buckwheat old friend, Rest In Peace! You will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with his family. /George and the entire Thaivisa Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilHarries Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I only met Buckwheat once and that was over some of his legendary barbequed ribs at a ThaiVisa party in Tropical Bert's. A truly nice guy and will be a sad loss to his family and all here at TV. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 sweet (and sometimes grumpy) Marty. a dear friend who will remain in my heart forever. i was only just skyping him last week or so, and he was so optimistic about his future. maybe he was lying to protect me from the harsh reality of his fate. i shall have a Heineken in his honour this evening and remember the fun times. i love you Mr Wheat The clock of life is wound but once And no man has the power, To tell just when the hands will stop At late or early hour. Now is the only time you own. Live, love, toil with a will. Place no faith in time. For the clock may soon be still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
