Remember me - by the laughter, not the tears, 
  remember me - for the joy and fun we shared,   through  all the happy years
  Please think of me, if you will, with a smile, when we all shared jokes
  and laughed, at things we did a wee bit daft
  If you smile - and if you laugh, sing songs, share fun and joy,
  then I will join you in the toast
  And think if you want to think of me.
  lift up your glass so I can share, enjoy yourselves.....and I'll be there

masterglasser
  Hugh 'shuggles' Mchendrie  joined GlescaPals Feb. 2008     ( 12.12.53  -   22.04.11 )  aged 57
 
My old school pal died on Friday 22 April 2011 in his adopted home of Chicago.
His Da managed to get in touch wi me thru GlescaPals website email.
Hughie fell off a ladder and was taken to hospital but complications set in and he ended up in intensive care and never recovered.

Masterglasser or Hugh 'shuggles' McHendrie as ah knew him at school was a great pal o' mine at John St. School.  He found GlescaPals 3 years ago and whilst not a prolific poster he and I were delighted tae be in touch again. He had a wee glazier business and was by all accounts happy in America. He had a troubled past as a teenager and young man and left these shores in 1981 (aged 27) to get away and start a new life.

I am sorry we never managed tae meet up wi each other, I had a lot of time for Hughie.
Doesn't life seem short at times and when someone you know dies you start thinking - if only....

His opening post was " Hi, my name is Shug i grew up in the calton/brigton, now living in chicago since 81 i am glad i found this site"

Ah knew that young Hughie and his ma Rachel had died, his da Hughie is mah b.i.l. Hennie's brother. A tragic time for the family, r.i.p. masterglasser and yer mammy.
 
 
  

The family in Scotland held a memorial service on Sat.11th June 2011 at the Masonic Hall, Stevenson St. Calton
His Dad, Hughie organised a lovely service which was conducted by the Rev.Peter Davidge with tributes from his three sons Jim, David & Raymond. It was a lovely well organised afternoon which included the traditional 'steak pie' and drinks for everyone.... a lovely send off and farewell to an old Pal.

Our condolences to the family  
 


joanie  joined GlescaPals May 2004         ( 20 Jun 1945  -   24 Feb 2012 )   aged  66yrs
        Australia




     Joanie at oor party in Jan.2007

   Joanie was brought up in Parkheid, Glesca one of 7 children (6 girls, 1 boy) living wi her Ma & Da in a room and kitchen at No.1339 Duke St, four closes down from Parkhead cross.  She posted “.. nine of us living in a room and kitchen in Parkhead, a bit crowded as we were all starting to grow up so i moved in with ma granny in Martin St (off French st) for a couple of years, it was great except she had to meet every fella that brought me home from Barraland. It got embarrassing… she'd be waiting at the close for me no matter what time it was and the first thing she always asked, is he a protestant or catholic. If he was a good catholic boy he was asked in if no he was sent on his way! ….”
She worked at Templeton’s carpet factory in Bridgeton and although she loved her job she always longed for something better and applied to emigrate to America, Australia and Canada and waited tae see what came back first – it was Australia.  In March 1965, aged 19 yrs old Joanie left Scotland to a new life in Australia, she always said it was the best move she made.

She found GlescaPals and posted “..my daughter introduced me to the comp last year and it has been my life. My grandsons come after school and teach me something new each day, slowly I'm learning things I never thought i would, my daughter always tells me "you can teach an old dog new tricks" so there you go. God bless ye Wull & Glescapals. Joanie 2005…”
GlescaPals became a big part o' her life and she was delighted in January 2007 tae attend a GlescaPals swally in Morrison’s Lounge, Glasgow wi her GlescaPal daughter ‘wee joanie’
She wrote “…the swally was terrific, awe the pals are just that, PALS, a better group of people you couldnt meet, you would have loved them all, between my daughter and me, we had a movie camera and 2 digitals and ended up with not one photo of the swally, my flash didnt work, wee Joans battery died on her and the movie camera she had it set on the wrong setting.
To those of you I did meet it was a pleasure, Mags and Katslater you are both great company, Maryjane, thanks a lot for makin me feel so at ease,Norrie, Jeep, Jamesyboy and the Webmaister.  Webmaister, what can I say that has not been said already by everyone who has met you all, and meetin HRH Anna B was jist great…."

Ah lovely wee wummin who I was delighted to meet in person along with her daughter 'wee joanie' and husband 'nudge'.  Her favourite Country song was Prop me Up and the chorus goes 'Prop me up beside the jukebox if I die"   Joanie I'm sure your gieing it laldy .... a pleasure knowing you.

the dash

I read of a man who stood to speak
at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on his tombstone
from the beginning...to the end.

He noted that first came the date of his birth
and spoke of the following date with tears,
but he said what mattered most of all
was the dash between those years.

For that dash represents all the time
that he spent alive on earth...
and now only those who loved him
know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not, how much we own;
the cars....the house...the cash.
What matters is how we live an
d love
and how we spend our dash.

So think about this long and hard...
are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left.
(You could be at "dash midrange.")

If we could just slow down enough
to consider what's true and real,
and always try to understand
the way other people feel.

And be less quick to anger,
and show appreciation more
and love the people in our lives
like we've never loved before.

If we treat each other with respect,
and more often wear a smile...
remembering that this special dash
might only last a little while.

So, when your eulogy's being read
with your life's actions to rehash...
would you be proud of the things they
say about how you spend your dash?
