Today I was working in Hamilton. Every time I visit Hamilton I think of Gary. Gary being born and bred there. I remember Gary telling me where he was born and brought up. A place called Laighstonehall, the school he went to, Hamilton Grammar and Gary being Gary his local pub that he on occasions visited and had a pint of Cider. I do remember when I first met Gary he took me to his local pub as I recall it was called the Woodside Bar. It is described as a very traditional bar where people can watch sports and/or have a conversation. To me a mans pub, (Sorry for sounding old fashioned) that was Gary to a 'tee'. He loved Rugby and I am sure if they were not showing it on the T.V Gary would ask them to change the channel so as he could watch it. He did the same in our local in Carluke. Gary would discuss with me his early life, the trials and tribulations that a good majority of us experience in life. I have many memories of Gary and our life together.
Tricia Gary' loving partner.
