Big Tam .
He was maybe three or four years older than me , never seen him smoke , hardly drank , I heard he had throat cancer but got treatment and battled on , that was years ago so big Tam battled on for years before the battle was lost .

Big Tam .
Big Tam has left this planet and I wanted to visit him one more time but he passed away and I never got the chance so it's pick a star in the sky time and there's Big Tam , he is up there etc.....

Big Tam .
He would say to me , right so you post Snooker threads to AzBilliards Chud 'Chud was my nickname from schooldays' so keep posting , post a swinger so I did and it was a take on Emperor Hearn and O'Sullivan but Scaramouche told me off so I stopped it . Big Tam would say to me right then so post the truth and tell them how you see it and keep the people informed and I would've said yes Big Tam that is exactly what I've been trying to do .

Big Tam .
Whoever reads what I post here remember this post ,. I heard from my daughter that Big Tam was ill and in the hospice and googled directions to pay a visit but the next thing an old team mate messaged to say Big Tam had passed . Appreciate what you have got for when things pass you will realise what you lost .

Paul Weller Thinking Of You :
Right now thinking of Big Tam I remember he got a shop in Clydebank next to St Eunan's school so this was when my dear lady wife shot the moon to live with her lover . I met big Tam and he asked how comes your kids come into my shop wearing St Eunan's uniforms so I had to say Tam she left and took the kids to live with her lover
lol !

Thinking back.....
Big Tam had his ways and faults , he could push you to you limits and I for one knew that but I also knew that Big Tam pushed you to the limits to see what your limits were and if you could surpass them .

Big Tam .
I'm trying to find the word's to type to describe Big Tam and what he meant to me but on the news of his passing I'm just too shocked and stunned at the moment but Big Tam wouldn't want me to feel this way .

Humour .
My sense of humour has got me through many a bad time , wife left , had to get a divorce , parents passed away had to go to the funerals I didn't want to go to . Friends passed away before you get the chance to say goodbye etc so as I'm posting I'm asking you whoever reads to always take care of family and friends because who knows if we will ever see them again !

Big Tam .
It's hard to believe how one night your Googling up directions to pay an old friend you haven't seen for years but the next night you find out that he has passed away . Take care of your family and friends !

Big Tam .
i never knew Big Tam was a music fan until that time he picked me and and his mechanic friend up one night so we went to his place and Big Tam was telling us . right so the dog has chewed the car seats but i don't give a **** and I feed the dog on the best butcher meat steaks , right so here we go . I last seen Big Tam's black labrador dog as a pup but he bought it the best of meat and that night I found out Big Tam also had a huge music collection so that night me and Jim and Jim was well over 6 feet tall went to Big Tam's place and his black dog was so huge it was scary but he fed it on the best food and it jumped up on Jim who I said was over 6 foot tall and it jumped up and out two paws over Jim's shoulders and I just wanted out of that place and go home that dog was huge lol !

Big Tam .
He bought a black labrador dog , time had passed and he needed the dog to protect his property so Big Tam would pick us up for the Pool and this time I got in the car and the seats were wrecked so I said Tam WTF has happened to your car . So Big Tam had been away from the Pool for while , came back and ran us to the Pool venues . Oh that , you talking about my car seats getting chewed up ? Right then come down to my house , oh and by the way I've got a dog nowadays !

In my life I have lost my parents and many friends so what I ask is that you say hello to the people that matter in your life because you just don't know when the next time is that you will meet again .

Big Tam .
Willie Thorne did an exhibition at The Crucible here in Clydebank in the early 1990's in the old Cinema so Big Tam said he was buying tickets and taking the wife and who want's to go so I said I will go so bought tickets for me and the ex wife but of course the wife's were not interested but I had bust an ankle and didn't think I'd make the stairs but the tickets got shared out and we all went and a good time was had !

Big Tam .
I met him in William Hill Bookies up the Hardgate and I'm studying form on the greyhound card and in walk Big Tam and said right so who do you think wins the next race so I picked and the next thing big Tam is writing out numbers on a betting slip & tears it up and puts it in his hands writing trap number and said right I will show you how to pick winners . pick a piece of paper from my hand and I picked T6 , it was the outsider in the betting and the next thing Big Tam's writing out T6 to win £5 and I'm saying Tam it's no chance and I'm getting ready to run out the door but T6 won ! Big Tam said see , no point in studying and you better show up at the Pool tonight and I will buy you a few beers lol !
