Kan Win Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Sad News PHUKET: A cremation service will be held tomorrow for Australian Rex Allen, who died Tuesday in a motorcycle accident in Kalim. He was just 37 years old. A former professional golfer, Mr Allen leaves behind a wife and four children, including two young boys by his Thai wife Root. Rex was on his way home from celebrating Australia Day in Patong on Monday when the tragedy occurred on the Patong-Kamala Rd in Kalim. Mr Allen was well-known to the island’s expat community as the former manager of Didi’s Swiss Resort in Patong. His good friend Rob Gregory described him “as the kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back”. The service will be held at the crematorium next to the public library on Haad Patong Rd in Patong at 1 pm. A foundation will be set up to help provide for his wife Root and their children, one of whom suffers from a congenital heart problem.
