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 . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v9WhRpQw8E

Gerald why aren't you in your bed it's nearly 8am .
What is the reason for this latest all nighter ?
Well I just lost a good friend and I'm playing songs .
Guess it's called a 'Wake'

I'm a sad Bhoy right now but Big Tam would't want to see me this way , fighting back the tears God Bless you Big Tam . Gone but never forgotten !
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 !
