CockneyGit Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Wow, 38 is no age at all. Seems like a decent guy who actually gave something back to his local Thai community, not just take, take, take. R.I.P Big Fella....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lannatyne Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 No word about any family back in UK. Hope someone has looked after that, as you'd expect some living relatives to be around at the age of 38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
