Tam Mcgarry

[Tommy]

Knew him for long time and was warned yesterday that it was not looking good for him. An other real saint now gone RIP

[Stu]

Sad news. Didn't know him, but for some reason the other day I was reminded of the time I served him in Makro while working there one summer.

Condolences to Stevie and the rest of his family and friends.

[Kendo]

Really sad to hear, didn't know him but recognised him and knew who he was. Shocked at the news must have been sudden thought I saw a tweet that he and his son signed up for buy the buds just last week?

Thoughts are for his family.

[zurich_allan]

Very sad news. I didn't know Tam well, but knew him to say hello to. He had a ball (no pun intended) one time 3 or 4 years ago at the Saints for a day match where he was assistant manager of our team. RIP.

[car-d bud]

Was in his company a few times with my father in law, a real gent who always took time to say hello. Heartfelt sympathy to Steven and rest of the family, the Saints family has lost a real character today. RIP bud.

[JM1]

Seemed like a really nice guy. Sad to hear this news and thoughts go out to his family.

[windae cleaner]

The St Mirren family has lost a real character and the ground won't be the same without.Thoughts are with his family and his many many friends.RIP Tam

[Liverpool Bud]

Met this gentleman a few times - last was Stockport pre season a few years back

Seemed a top bloke and obviously Saints to the core

Respect to the family RIP

[beyond our ken]

RIP bud

[spankin_panda]

Condolences to his family, said hello at games and even bumped into him in a Spanish bar once.

Sad news, indeed.

[salmonbuddie]

Absolutely stunned - he was a couple of years above me in school and I went to games home and away with Tam and others from 77-79 but lost touch when I stopped going regularly. Bumped into him now and again over the years at the games I did get to and once professionally.

Condolences to all his family, RIP, Tam.

[Louise79]

A true gentleman and a lovely family man. His beloved grandson Kyle who he took to games, to a proud dad to Steven and his girls. Distraught to hear the news and Steven flew in from Australia

[zurich_allan]

Found a picture taken by Allan Picken, hope he won't mind me posting it, from the game Tam was assistant manager for. RIP Tam.

[jazza]

Really is sad sad news. Maybe the buy the buds people could do something in his honour. Name the new bar McGarrys bar or something.

RIP

[farmer john]

I saw him writing on Facebook very recently, maybe just yesterday morning and I thought I would add him as friend so I could get involved in all his Saints chat and banter then finally meet him at the next game I am at.

Very sad news indeed.

[g_saint]

Never knew tam personally used to see him all the time at the games i will always remember him up at dingwall standing up applauding as steven came off for ross county sad news indeed rip tam

[Mars]

A group of us heading back to Blackpool after the Accrington friendly a few years back bumped into Tam and Ian on the train. The only time I've been in their company but very memorable. Fondly recalling the great laugh and sing song on the journey back.

Our thoughts are with his family.

RIP Tam.

Tam clearly had a loving, loyal mate.

[saintnextlifetime]

Always knew him as Tommy ever since I was a kid . The whole family are a great bunch , I went to my first game with Tommy's wee brother and their Dad . Sad to here of Tommy's passing , l don't think ever knew a more stalwart fan of Paisley Saint Mirren. .

[buddiecat]

Many a memory of Tam, him asking me what i thought about saints situation at that time, me replying and asking his take on it. Great man, great laugh and usually positive about the team being able to turn it round when times were low.

Sad day indeed, god rest Tam and to his family i send my condolences, you can be sure that Tams' personality has touched and left fond memories with every Buddie he met.

RIP Tam.
