Guest luvthai Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 Duc of Duc's Bar has been found dead inside his bar in Sunee. I know nothing if the details but he was a heavy drinker and smoker. He was a good friend since 94) and always my first stop when going out for the evening. Sunee will not be the same without him. Quote
kokopelli Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 Some details of his passing are posted on other forums. I was chatting with him about a week or two ago and he was in fine spirits at that time. Sad to see another icon of the Plaza leave the scene. Quote
TotallyOz Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 Sad to read this today. Duc was a true character in the Pattaya scene since I have been coming to Thailand. I had more than a few drinks and good conversations with him over the years. He will be missed. Quote
Guest Doug Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Arrangements for Duc are being organized by his close friends. His funeral will probably be on the 14th or 15th in Pattaya. You can keep current with the plans at this website:http://ducsbarandcoffeeshop.wordpress.com/ Quote
williewillie Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Service at Wat Chai was yesterday. Duc's bar in Sunee was open last night and looked Very busy with same faces from years past. I was told about a hundred people showed up at the Wat. A fitting memorial. kokopelli and vinapu 2 Quote
kokopelli Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 The memorial service was well attended by both farang and Thai. Sadly, no words of tribute were spoken or eulogy given. It was touching that a number of Thai lads acted as a guard of honor as Duc's body was consigned to eternity. Quote
kokopelli Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 In retrospect, a rousing rendition of Waltzing Matilda would have been a fitting finale. Here's to you Duc! vinapu 1 Quote
