William (Bill) Dodds (17 Jan 1937 - 28 Aug 2021)

A sad day when cousin Bill passed away. Echoing others, Bill was always a delight to be with and our family visits on Christmas night to Alder Road (when he and Marjory were a tad younger) and then to Newlands, were occasions to be greatly savoured. Bill in Newlands ever the attentive and generous host, with a huge supply of wit and humour thrown in. I visited Bill with Carrie very recently and his retorts were as sharp as ever. Not to forget Bill's serious and thoughtful self, sometimes hidden in his geniality. We will miss you Bill, a bright light has gone out!! Our fondest love to Carrie and Kay .......

Sending you all our deepest sympathy and condolences at this sad time, May he rest in peace xx

My dear Kay and Carrie. We are so sorry to hear the very sad news of Uncle Billy's passing. I will always remember when he used to take me to school as a wee boy and also the downstairs bar/party place/fun times we had beneath the house in Newlands with the whole family and anyone else who just happened to pass by. Uncle Bill was always the life and soul of the party and we will all miss him deeply. Thinking of you at this sad time. All our love. Graham, Soula and Sophie.

Sending lots of love to you and your family at this sad time. I will echo that your dad was a real gentlemen for all who knew him. Cherish all those fond memories that you will hold in your heart.

A huge loss! Bill and Vi were a big part of our lives. We had great fun with them and have been so fortunate to have still had Bill - just sorry that because of COVID not able to see him latterly but kept in touch thru Majorie and Carrie

We always had a great time with Vi, Bill and the three girls sharing family celebrations all the way back to 1966. Bill always was a fun and generous host, witty and charming. His kind heart was shown to Eithne at a difficult time when her Mother was so ill. She will never forget it and will always be grateful.
To his loving family I will quote a Spanish proverb "Only remember the happy times".
RIP Bill. Much love Stuart and Eithne xx

Kay & Carrie, so sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. I have so many fond memories of your mum & dad. I remember our visits to Glasgow as children with Kay & Eve to your beautiful home and the amazing basement. They made us feel so welcome and we were truly spoilt.
My fondest memories will always be when we were all together on holidays in Marbella. Bill the only man with his sister-in-laws and all the children. They had a ball, he loved them all and he was always so stylish, witty, kind, generous and extremely patient. Mr candy’s favourite customers. Bill was an absolute Gentleman, and I hope your lovely memories will help you through this difficult time. May you RIP uncle Bill, love, Vi, Tom, Ellen, Charlie & Mary, your Irish ☘️ family xx

So sad for your loss ,Bill was a lovely man and as Kay Says a true gentleman, we have only known him for a few years but enjoyed his company whenever possible, particularly his 80 th party , he will be missed .

Sending you all so much love. Such a great loss. The world is a much poorer place without the warmth and smiles that your Dad always brought into any room. One of life's true gentlemen.

Heartfelt condolences to the whole family. Hope this photo gives some comfort x
