Dear family of loong Tuck,

It is with sad hearts that we heard of Loong Tuck's passing. We were hoping to see him on our visit to Thailand.

We always appreciated his help and enjoyed his company. He was a good man and a great friend. He made our visits to Thailand so much better.

We will miss him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife and family.

Due to return to Hua Hin in January 2010 I contacted an expat link to Hua Hin News. I am so sad and sorry to see that Khun Tuck (as I knew him) has died and I do hope that he was not so very ill beforehand. I know he was well respected within the community of Hua Hin and he was a gentleman to me when I once needed some advice. I was going to pay him a surprise visit in 2010 and now that is not possible. I know this is now late in time, but I send his family my condolences from the United Kingdom.
