The Cuddly Toi Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 My friend Stewart Leask was a die-hard Thistle fan and regular attender at Firhill . He lived in Milgavie, but he and his wife Linda had a wee cottage on the Isle of Arran which she had inherited. On Sunday 3rd February Stewart and his dog Corrie left this cottage to walk to the Glenashadale Falls. He never came home. A huge search was organised, involving the police, the army, the coastguard helicopter, the local Mountain Rescue Team and scores of volunteers from all over Arran On Wednesday Corrie was found near the carpark for the Falls. On Friday Stewart's body was found in the sea off the Ayrshire Coast. As you can imagine, this long period of uncertainty put an intolerable amount of stress and strain on his wife and family. A huge blow to his family and friends, and another sad loss to the Thistle family, his cheery, smiling face will be sorely missed. We will be putting up a tile to his memory in the Jackie Husband stand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partickthedog Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Incredibly sad news and thoughts are with family and friends (including the OP). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlgarveJag Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Its very sad indeed and my thoughts and condolences are with his family and friends. Closure hopefully brings a modicum of comfort. Its a year since a similar thing happened here in Algarve but sadly the chap has never been found and the family are left without any form of closure.
