RIP friend.

Thanks for all your support.

Martin was good people. I only met him once for about an hour we spoke about business and a lil about life in general at Siam Paragorn a couple years ago. Even though I was so much younger than him he listened too me and spoke with me in a way that made him feel more like a older brother and less like a lecturing parent. Man he was good people, seriously, he was humble, kind, very active, and had a great sence of humor.

I hope were ever his soul rests now, that it is happy and full of joy.

RIP Buckwheat, you will surely be missed.

A real shock when I heard the news from George. I only met him once, in passing, at the 2007 get together at the Ratri in Kata, Phuket. RIP..

I knew Marty had a battle for good health over some time. Both mamanoodle and I met him many times. The first time was at the First Pattaya pissup at Tropical Berts. We took to him right away, great sense of humour and enthusiam for life in general.

Loved his ribs and his company usually over a beer or six!

R.I.P. Marty my heart goes out to his family.

Very sad indeed to read that Buckwheat has left us. He will be sorely missed on this forum.

His 'Personal Statement'

Life is all about Ass

You're either covering it,

Laughing it off,

Kicking it,

Kissing it,

Busting it,

Trying to get a piece of it,

Behaving like one,

Or you live with one!

May you Rest in Peace, Buckwheat. With heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

And... he truly lived like that.

I am truly proud to have known him... and lived with him.

Goodbye my friend.

[Tywais]

I woke up this morning, got my coffee and started the computer. First thing I saw was this topic title and was literally stunned by it. I've had the fortune to have met him twice at the CM parties. He's the rare type of person where you very quickly feel you have been pals for ages. R.I.P Marty.

May Buckwheat rest in peace.

For the last couple of months he used his own portrait as his avatar, the image of the man with a positive outlook on life that he was:

Buckwheat, in real life Martin Schulte

Gentleman and TaiVisa administrator

Sad to hear this news. My thoughts are with his family & friends, may he rest in peace.

[Pattaya_Fox]

When Marty told me in November that he was finally losing his battle with cancer his main wishes were that he hoped that he could live long enough to see his son`s passing out parade in March and to spend some time with his grandchildren before he passed away.

I was truly amazed at how brave he was in handling his situation.

Marty was a person who lived life to the full and he had a unique ability of being able to make friendships.

His trustworthy and caring personality and generocity coupled with his enthusiasm to listen and help others made him a very special person.

His ability, intelligence and dedication whilst working in marketing and as an administrator of thaivisa helped put the forum where it is to-day.

It was a pleasure to have known Marty and a priviledge to have worked with him.

R.I.P. dear friend.

[elsie]

Shame we lost contact the past year or two. But it's a pleasure to have met you, Martin.

RIP.

I never met Buckwheat, nor did I have his famous ribs, but reading what the other posters have posted, I sure wish I had. Sounds like he was truly great guy. May he rest in peace. Condolences to his family and friends.
