Letter of the Quarter
John Mcfadden was a man known to most in the town. It might
have been as the lollypop man with the patch or the whistling
postman. For years John served the community in so many roles,
He was the local postie, local lollypop man, justice of the peace and
a member of the community council to name just a few. He was
even known for his impressive talent of beating most the town at
snooker and he only had one functioning eye. Sadly John passed
away at the end of January this year. The chapel had only standing
space available and the cemetery was packed to say goodbye to
the beloved community man who will be sorely missed. John was
a massive community man but also a family man who adored his
grandkids. The family would like to thank everyone for all their
support over the difficult time and for the turn out and support
on the day of the funeral. I would also like to personally thank the
Facebook page ‘Stewarton When We Were Growing Up’ for sharing
all the information and for everyone on the page who passed on
their kind words and brilliant memories of my pops.
