Sad news -- David Kerridge
A friend in Pattaya has just posted this---
It is with deepest sadness that we have to say goodbye to my lovely David Kerridge. He sadly passed away last night after a long and noble fight against Cancer. He was a true friend to many of us both here in the UK and also to his many friends in Thailand where he enjoyed many holidays and eventually lived a long and full life in his adopted home.
Goodbye my friend. The last 20 years have been a blast. I’m sure you’ll be keeping them laughing in heaven.

I did not know him, but I am sorry he is gone. From your posts I know I missed a chance to know a very good man.

Re: Sad news -- David Kerridge
David is part of a dying breed of pioneers that began the gay scene in Pattaya. I first met him when he had the beer bar La Cage just outside Sunee next to the White Knight restaurant. He was a wonderful host and a really good guy R.I.P.

He was also the Farang Manager at Panorama Bar in Boyztown for many years.

Peter Wall, partner of David in Oscar's bar, posted this:

·"Many of David’s friends have asked me about funeral arrangements and flowers etc.
He planned this many weeks ago and it will be a ‘simplistic’ funeral. There will be no family and friends in attendance.
David will be cremated at 8.30am UK time on Friday 15th October and perhaps we can all take a few moments to reflect on the life of our dear friend. "
