Mr DiMeo passed away from heart failure at age 76 in his home in Surin province on April 7.
An active member of the “Scandinavians of Phuket” expatiate community in Phuket (Skandinaver på Phuket), Mr DiMeo was auditor* of the 250-member social club.
He was known within that community for organising demands to the Swedish government to give its expatriates the same state hospital care insurance rights Norwegians have, especially retired pensioners in Thailand, namely to be covered by the Swedish state health and hospital care insurance wherever their permanent residence may be.
Mr DiMeo is survived by his wife Narinkorn and two sons in Sweden.
The remembrance on Sunday will be held at House 6 in Samakkea Village, Rawai, starting at 4pm.
