R.I.P.
Tommy Boyle
I am very sad to report that Tommy passed away on the evening of the 9th January 2026.
Tommy was a very well respected member of F Troop (Dragon) Bty where I first met him
at Shoeburyness in 1968, he also served in Dortmund and Larkhill. Tommy was
someone you could rely on and would have your back in any situation.
Many will have their memories of him.
​
We extend our deepest sympathy to his son's Callum and Struan and all the family.
​
Tommy's funeral will take place at:
Donald McLaren Family Funeral Directors,
45 Sunnyside Road
Coatbridge, ML5 3DG
​
The service will begin at 13.30 hrs, and then on to Holytown Crematorium,
