In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:
A wonderful tribute to a unique man and a generous, kind cousin.
My brother and I are part of what is known to the family as the "Irish Mob", and we will attest to all Tam's virtues and also to his love of the mountains and hills around Glasgow.
When staying with Tam, we spent many glorious hours watching the deer on the Cobbler through his telescope, and had promised ourselves that one day we would climb the hills, and see them at first hand.
Sadly, this is now not to be.
He'll be sorely missed by his friends and cousins. RIP
