Stu Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zurich_allan Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
car-d bud Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankin_panda Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Condolences to his family, said hello at games and even bumped into him in a Spanish bar once. Sad news, indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmonbuddie Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise79 Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 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 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmer john Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mars Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintnextlifetime Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 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. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddiecat Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) 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.
