For those wishing to pay their respects, Alex’s funeral service will take place on Wednesday, 26th February, here at Bellshill Central Parish Church at 1.45pm, followed by a committal at 2.30pm in Holytown Crematorium.
We at Bellshill Central would like to pass on our condolences to Alan, Jennifer and the family at this sad time.
Alex was a long-standing member of Bellshill Central Parish Church and the former Macdonald Memorial Church. He was a faithful Elder and church officer. He was often the first face people would meet and offered a very warm welcome.
