gent richard walker - rest in peace

hua hin, THAILAND It is our sad duty to report that one of Hua Hin’s best loved and most well known members of the community, Richard Walker, died peacefully in his sleep on Sunday night (24th April). In recent years he had been residing in a nursing home suffering increasingly from dementia, and while it is a very sad loss for his family and all who knew him, it was also a release from this agonising condition. Richard, or Dick as he was generally known, was best known in the area for successfully running two bars - Jungle Juice, on Soi Selekam, which he sold and then opened Dick’s Office (now Hua Hin Miss You) on Soi 80, one of the very first bars on that street. However it was his no nonsense yet gentlemanly demeanour that made him stand out from the crowd, and made him hugely popular amongst the expat, Thai and tourist community; the number of tributes paid to him on the Facebook thread started by his son John announcing the news is testament to that. The service held at the Hua Hin Temple on Tuesday, followed by a gathering at the Red Piano, similarly reflected on how so many people could call Richard a friend. We will all miss this true gentleman - our condolences to his family and all who knew him.
