starcandle Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 It's with great sadness that this morning I was awoken to the news that Andy from Lords Bar in Choeng Mon was tragically killed in a motorbike accident in the early hours of Sunday morning. RIP Andy - a genuine nice guy who leaves a very young family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post premiersportsbar Posted August 27, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2012 Tonight at 7pm an informal meeting will go down at Premier Sports Bar in Bangrak from about 7pm Dave is one of Andy's closest friends. Dave has had his phone ringing constantly since the tragedy occured, and I believe he would like to bring everyone up to date in one go so he can also get a little time off the phone and reflect/mourn his friends passing. As at yesterday evening it is believed Andys family had not been informed, lets hope by tonight Dave can clarify the situation and bring us all upto date. as we at the Premier do not want to be profitting from such a tragedy, anybody attending will only be charged 50 baht per beer. Dave asked for the meeting to be held at Premier and I have obliged. At this time John Tina Ian and all the staff from Premier Bar have Andys family and friends in our thought's RIP a lovely genuine gent John 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

premiersportsbar Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Just a follow up to let anyone who could not make last nights get-together know the latest details of what is happenning regards Andy, The tragedy happened early hours Sunday am on the Ghost Road, nobody else was involved. Both of Andy's sisters have been informed and are making their way to Koh Samui. Once Andy's family are here and complete the necessary paperwork his body will be released for funeral arrangements. On the day of the funeral there will be a fund raiser in benefit of his wife and children, Paul Watson from Tropical Murphys has very generously offered his establishment as the venue. I will post here on T V once the dates have been confirmed. It just goes to show how popular a guy Andy was, and how well respected he was in our community. Nearly 60 people turned up last night to find out what had happened and what was going to happen to their friend. Once again R I P Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry and Alfies Mum Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 My partner and I were planing our third visit to Koh Samui this Christmas, and planned to visit Lords Bar and catch up with Andy - this news is shocking. I was there on my 50th birthday in March 2011 and he and his wife did us proud with a lovely meal and a massive cake, all organised as a surprise. My heart just breaks for his wife and children, what a wonderful guy, what a tragic loss. Jill & Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
