Stanley Sidney Willcock

Stan was born at Shoal Creek on October 18, 1923 to Walter and Idena Willcock. He was the middle child, with Edward and Dave being his older siblings and Florence and Norman being his younger.

In 1953 he married Mary Valorney, with whom 65 years of marriage were shared.

Although moving to Barrhead in 2012, Shoal Creek was his true home. Dad enjoyed fishing and discussing any topic over a beer. He grew up on the farm and spent time swimming and fishing in the Shoal Creek, along with playing baseball with the Shoal Creek team. If you caught him in the house, he was doing crosswords, reading absolutely everything that crossed his path, and watching sports on TV. No topic caught Dad off guard and he was pleased to discuss any with you. He loved visits from all the family and those great grandchildren of his gave him special joy.

Stan is survived by his loving wife Mary, and by his children Pat, Brian, Wendy, and Merlin. His grandchildren Tara, Alison, Mitch, Nigel, Ellisa, Maria, Jessica, Nick, Vanessa and Marcus. 14 great grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild.

We would like to thank the staff at the Royal Alex Hospital and the Barrhead Hospital for the attention and wonderful care given to our Dad while he was there.

By Dad’s wishes, there will be no funeral service, but we invite anyone that wishes to stop by our open house at the family home in Barrhead on Monday August 26th, after 2:00 and join us in celebrating his memory.
