In loving memory of Malcolm ‘Malky/Calum’ Bain who sadly passed away peacefully on 09th September after a short illness.
Calum was one of four children born to Malcolm and Mary Bain, as the eldest and only son he was certainly the apple of his mother’s eye. Growing up in a house with three sisters wasn’t easy but Calum could certainly hold his own and the bond between the siblings remained strong throughout his life.
Following in his father’s footsteps Calum became a Steel fixer; a career he loved, despite the long hours in the cold Glasgow weather. He was well known on sites, made a lot of good friends and was much respected for his knowledge and experience. In fact Calum loved the work so much he retired and returned more times than could be mentioned.
When he wasn’t working on site or picking up another new book at the local library Calum was with his beloved wife Moira. The pair who were married in 1969 spent over 50 happy years living in the East end of Glasgow. Both Calum and Moira loved to travel and would jet off to sunnier climates as much as possible. In their later years the Greek islands was by far their favourite holiday spot and they became known to the locals, keeping in touch between trips and catching up whenever possible.
Calum grew up and remained a family man throughout his life; he loved nothing more than meeting up for a drink, or even better a curry, with his sisters, their partners and their children. In fact there was nothing more he loved than good food and a catch up; whether it be BBQ’s or Christmas dinner Calum was at his happiest in these social situations which is where his family will miss him most.
A joint funeral Mass will be held for Calum and his wife Moira on Wednesday 16th September at St Mary of the Assumption followed by a short service at Daldowie Crematorium.
