Sorry to intimate that Alistair Cochrane (78) passed away peacefully on Friday 31st January at St John’s hospital in Livingston.
Alistair’s brother George advises he caught Covid just after the New Year and had breathing difficulties since then.
Alistair’s funeral is to be held on Wednesday 19th February at 2pm in Livingston Crematorium.
I remember Alistair served as an officer in the company and was involved in amateur football.
Although he hadn’t been to a reunion for a number of years, he returned a few years ago and had a great night reminiscing with a lot of the membership.
We all send our condolences to the whole Cochrane family and I’m sure 214bb ties would be welcomed if you can attend.
I am heartbroken to advise you of the sudden death of my brother Iain.
Iain (74) passed away suddenly but peacefully at home with his family beside him on Friday 25th October 2024.

This is a devastating loss to Helen and Stewart, as well as Stewart’s partner Cheryl and their children Orla and Islay who have lost a beloved granda.
As I write this Christine and I find it hard to believe that he has gone. Iain was my brother and my best friend, he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

I’m sure all the Ex Members will be shocked to hear this and send their deepest sympathies to the whole family at this sad time.
Iain was a very good friend to many over the years and was a gentle giant. He will be missed throughout the Bowling and Pipeband / Music worlds to name a few.

Just a quick request if you have video or photographs of Friday nights successful evening, can you please send them to me on secretary’s email address?
I have photos via WhatsApp and Facebook but the quality reduces on these platforms.
I have one photo of the stair group photo but it’s not the clearest.
There was another camera used if that could be sent I’d be greatly appreciative.
I’ll post up all the photos together once I get them.
