Post by **Los Amigos** » July 9, 2013, 10:56 pm

Tattoo John was born and raised in the bar of his parents, at 17 he joint the merchant navy. He sailed all over the world, visit every brothel, bar and monkeyhouse along the way. He was truely one of a kind, been there done that, kind of guy.

So 53 with that kind of life.... He got Ill last month, and was really sick for only a week, and died at home in his bed, I guess there was just nothing left to do for him, he did it all before 35, everything else was just extra.
He had some nice stories to tell

, miss you, Sjon.

I'll second that!Had a rough upbringing. but a survivor.
His life was not boring thats for sure.
Down to earth and no bull s**t. His life was a long adventure. Good times and bad.
Looked a mean bugger but heart of gold.
One time was at a local shop nearbye.A farang from "East europe" joined us.
I had bought a bottle of whisky between us.
This bloke kept helping himself.In the end, John said to him"You want a drink? here take the kin" lot!" ....
He poured out his whisky into a pint glass and gave to him So funny!

Had many a beer with John over the past few years! He was a laid-back guy who was pleasant and usually content to live his life his way! He wii be missed!
