W.D. Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Tom passed away on thurs morning in his sleep, aged 76.Anyone who ever met him will know what a great character he was,and will be sorely missed by all in the club and village, even though its a few years since he raced doos he still kept in touch with everyone.He took me to my first fitba game, Rangers v Hearts, Donald Ford, John Greig etc. First time to Hampden Park too, Rangers v Ayr, Johnny Doyle playing for Ayr before going to Celtic, Rangers won, and if I remember correctly Cutty Young scored from a corner kick, thought that was brill until I got hit on the head wi a beer can full o p*ss!!!Sorry for going on a bit but its been a hard couple of days, lots of happy memories.God Bless.My thoughts to Ann his wife and the family.
THE FIFER Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 R.I.P my thoughts to Family and friends
Rooster J. Cogburn Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Tattie was some man and will be sorely missed by all in the village. The stories of Tattie are told every year in the club and will be for many more to come.I can remember when he used to come a couple of days a week to my dad's loft in Blackbraes to do some loft chores by his way of it.Always knew when he'd been in as there was more water on the floor than there was in the drinkers Hes the only person I've met who could sweep a floor and leave it dustier than when he started Repeating myself and echoing what William says,he will be greatly missed and thoughts go out to Ann and the rest of the family at this time.
Rooster J. Cogburn Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 rest in peace tam il never forget the night at the avonbridge doo dance when tam casually walked in with a goat that he found outside running about he brought it round all the tables and introduced it to everybody then took it back to the field he came back 45 minutes later he was some man one of the best He had some sense of humour. The Harry Ramsdens challenge story is another cracker No many like the old Tattie boy.RIP Tam
