Billy Mccann was born in glasgow on 2nd of may 1941,first child of annie and william mccann,he was named after his father william,although he later became known as billy,a few years later a baby sister named ann was born.Billy was a happy go lucky child who had a big circle of friends and was always thoughtful an considerate and just little bit mischievous,much to his mothers dismay.He was always car mad and ended up fulfilling his dream later on in life when he became acar mechanic.He was also to have many other jobs over the years including train driver,a soldierand painter and decorator,he could basically put his had to anything.His big love was the teddy boys and he wanted to be one so hebegan dressing like them and was so proud of his quiff,which he went on to keep for his entie life.
He met marie in 1973 in a pub in bridegton and they fell in love and married in march 1975.They moved to ruchazie to set up home and start a family.Tracy and lorraine were then born,and billy was also stepfather to marie's daughter donna whom he treated like his own daughter.They had many happy years and memories in ruchazie.
However unfortnately the marriage broke down and marie and billy went their seperate ways.billy regretted this situation for his entire life.
He then moved in with his mother annie who lived in carntyne.Annie unfortnately became ill and bily devoted himself to taking care of hertill the day she sadly passed away.
In 1995 billy became a grandfather by daughter tracy for the first time.
He was a devoted grandfather to nicolelorraine,charlotte,paul,traceyanne,staceyanne and baby shawnpaul, and vowed to be there for his grandchildren as he had missed so much of his own children's lives and was desperately trying to make amends for this.
Everyone who knew him knew billy liked a drink and his favourite pub was the westburn in carntyne.Billy could often be found in there laughing and joking and surronded by the large circle of good friends he made in there throughout the years.
Those who knew billy loved him,as he was speacial in his own way.
Everyone will sadly miss billy.

I Wish heaven had a phone. So I could hear your voice again. I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories. Your memory is a keepsake from which I'll never part. God has you in his arms, I have you in my heart.
Love You xx

If you love Someone In heaven
I wish heaven had a phone so i
could hear your voice again
I thought of you today,I thought
about you yesterday and days before
that too
I think of you in silence
I often speak your name
All i have are memories
and a picture in a frame
Your memory is a keepsake of
which i'll never part God has
you in his arms I have you in my
/ heart
You never said good bye
You never said i'm leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before i knew it
and only god knows why
A million times i needed you
A million times ive cried
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died
In life i loved you dearly
In death i love you still
In my heart you hold a place
that no-one could ever fill
It broke my heart to loose you
but you did not go alone, for part
of me went with you, the day
god took you home
