Shocking news Gary. I didn't know John personally but he was a familiar presence at home and away games. A loyal fan.

R.I.P.

Is this 'Hambone'?

RIP John

Very saddened to hear this. Sincere condolences to his family.

RIP Kilted Bud

Jeez, that's knocked me for six. Dreadful news. RIP Kilted Buddie. :-(

Sad sad news a real gentleman loyal fan and nice man Will be sadly missed RIP kilty

I didn't know John personally either but always seen him at games. Horrible news and another saints fan taken far too soon. My thoughts go out to his family and friends. RIP Kilted Buddie

Just heard from a Saints supporting colleague an hour ago that he was seriously ill and it wasn't looking good. Noneless, sad to hear of his sudden passing.

Like most fans, I didn't know him by name but was well used to seeing him at away games. Always brought a smile to your face with his devotion to the cause.

Condolences to his family and friends.

Terrible, terrible news.

Like so many other's I did not know "Kitled Buddie" personally but he was a well kent face both at home and away. One of the character's of our support whom will be remembered by many amongst our number. I think it is fair to say that many of us who did not know him will remember him and that is testament to the man's character.

RIP my fellow Buddie, you will be sadly missed.

Spoke to the gentleman a few times at games. Top man and top Buddie, brought a bit of colour to our support. Thoughts with his family.

RIP.

Really sorry to hear this news. Didn't know John personally but always saw him at the games in his kilt.

RIP buddie

Did he sit in the front row of the stand and give linesmen a lot of abuse?

Been a bad year for losing buddies RIP.

I would like to pass my condolences to the Family & Friends of John. Unfortunately I never knew him but seen him regularly and sure will will be sadly missed.

Like others, I didn't know John personally, but couldn't fail to notice him at matches. Terribly sad news for his family and friends, and my condolences go out to them.

Very sad, easily spotted and always had a smile.

RIP Buddie

So sorry to hear about this. I did not know him personally but know others who were friends of John. He sat quite near me in the stadium and I would sometimes see him on the bus for away games. Enjoy your new life John and I offer my condolences to John's family and friends.

Really sad news :-(

He sat in the seat behind me in the west stand for a few seasons before he moved over to the family stand last year. Really nice guy, condolences to friends and family.

Top guy. Seen him regularly on the Langs bus. Home and Away man all his days. Wish we had more of his type.

John was an out and out character who will be sorely missed on the North End St Mirren supporters bus.He was a terrific chanter who would be encouraged to give us a song on the way back from Dingwall or Inverness.I will leave it to his good mates Gerry and Martin to write something fitting but in the meantime may I say it was a pleasure to have known you John.A true gent and downright good guy.Dapper in kilt or in a suit.God bless you mate.May you rest in peace.

SkodaSaint text me the news earlier and I was shocked, knew through the bus obviously and tho I don't attend away now I used to bump into him in the town and have a fitba catch up.

Two North Enders gone this year :-(

RIP Bud

Sad news indeed, condolences to "Son of Kilted Saint" and the rest of the family.
