Hawick Jambo Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Mods, I'm not sure if its possible to make this a sticky for a few days, but any help would be appreciated. I'd like to pass onto the sad news that after a long illness, John Mulgrew, full time Unison Service Conditions Rep, died yesterday. John, as many of the people on here know was not only a great Union Official, he was also a terrific person and a fanatical Jambo. Personally, I also like to think that his great belief in fairness also meant there was only 1 team in Scotland he could have ever supported. Anyway, I wanted to pass the message on, to pass on my condolences to all his family, friends and colleagues and to allow others to do the same.

Have been on a few nights out with John and used to travel with him on the old Clermiston bus. A great guy and will be missed by a lot of people. RIP mate, Dougie.

The Gasman Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 To my extreme embarriement I did not realise who "John Mulgrew" actually was. I saw his picture in today's Evening News (Thursday 14th Aug) and realised that he was "Wee Jocky", someone I knee, through football and drink. As a Senior UNISON Steward, and a Hearts Fan who is partial to the occasional drink (!) I should have known him better, but I didn't. Jocky believed in what he did, with a vengance, and would fight for anyone else to have the right to believe in what they chose. I did not know him as well as I would have liked to (hindsight is a wonderful thing !) but he was a better Jambo, and a better person than many folk I know, and way out of my league. He will not be in heaven. He will be on the picket line outside Hell ! Just to make sure the good guys don't end up there. Hopefully not to soon, but I hope to join him on the line ! At the same time I would like to offer my sincere condolences to his many friends and his family. The Gasman . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
