BAIN THOMAS McROBBIE. Suddenly at home, on Saturday, 18th August 2007, Tam, loving husband of the late Jeannie, much loved dad of Lilias, Thomas, Margaret, Wilma, Andrew and William, devoted grandad, great grandad and brother of all the family. Cortege will leave Taylor Brother Funeralcare, 517 London Road, G40, on Friday, 24th August, at 11.35am, for service at Daldowie Crematorium, arriving at 12 noon, to which all friends are respectfully invited.

 A Rangers floral tribute from the family the card read - Dad, 'Simply the best'

  Tip Top whenever wee Tam was asked "how are ye doing?" His reply was always 'Tip Top"

 

.

 Last Year Tam mentioned to me that his boys went to Church House, it was then rather fitting that St.Francis-in-the-minister Rev.Howard Hudson should take the funeral service.

We entered the crematorium to the strains of 'marching through Georgia' yes the Billy Boys tune.
The service was short apparently Tam had told his family "nae long service for me, make it quick and get back furr a good swally". The minister obliged and after a short service we departed from the crematorium to the sound of TinaTurner singing "Simply the Best"
 



  Apr.2006. He greeted me with a warm smile and friendly handshake, 
  we met as strangers and departed as friends.

Webmaister. Sorry to hear about Tam. Would Tam be the last of the original Billy Boys?  A major part of Glasgow history has gone with Tam. Thanks John.
