Flashermac Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Glad to hear he is doing well/better. I remember him from Silver Dollar and Texas Lone staar. Didn't know he had owned a restaurant. He gave up his restaurant around the early '80s. Then he went to cook at Bourbon Street. After some sort of squabble with the owner, he left and gave up cooking. Too bad since he's a good one.

cavanami Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 My buddy Pat just came back from seeing Josh. Josh is doing OK. The hospital staff takes out of the room in a wheel chair every few days. Josh is talking a bit. Pat and I will go up to see him tomorrow morning and I can provide a better report.

cavanami Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Went to Sala Daeng (Pat Pong) and Josh was in the Bangkok Nursing Hospitsl (BNH) on Soi Convent. He looked to be medicated but came around and was able to respond. He is in ICU (or IMCU) but visitors are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted November 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Josh finally went to the Big Mango in the sky last week, dying peacefully in his sleep at BNH the night of the 5th. Peace, Josh. You were a good friend. Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Josh was a good guy and a fine cook. Bye, Josh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjk90210 Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Awful news. Did not know this man terribly well, but saw him often in Washington Square bars when I made it to town. Always shared a few jokes, some BS and a few drinks. Seemed the sort that acquired friends effortlessly, so it's probably an unfortunate fact that a lot of people are grieving. I am sorry for them. And I am sorry to see you go, Josh. You were one of the good ones. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MekhongKurt Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 For those who may be interested, there will be a sort of "Irish wake" for Josh at the Texas Lone Staar in Washington Square at 1:00 P.M. Saturday, November 17, 2007. Also, Doug at Bourbon Street asked to to clarify he and Josh were good friends and never had an argument. I've been here "only" 13+ years, but it certainly is true I never heard Josh speak badly about Doug, nor have I ever heard Doug utter one negative syllable about Josh. Doug did go to Josh's wake at the wat. So, as far as I know, they never had any conflict -- and certainly never bad-mouthed one another to me. Anyway, Josh is gone, of course, much to everyone's sadness. A number of folks have commented on what a great guy he was, and I sure cast my vote the ssame way. Josh was one of my very favorite people -- anywhere. I've got a Memorial Page for Josh posted on my website. There's a GREAT photo of him there taken 2-3 years ago by Richard K. Diran, the Square's resident photographer. Feel free to copy it. If the large image isn't of suitable enough quality, look below it and you'll see a link to one that's archival quality. (If you're on a dial-up connection, be prepared for a mighty long wait!) Here's the Memorial Page link: http://bangkokatoz.com/Josh%20Gaines.htm We sure do miss you, Amigo. . . .
