Greenock grandad Gordon McNeil passed away on January 18, aged just 59. Gordon began to feel unwell just a week earlier and thought he was coming down with a cold. Just a week later, he passed away in his bed at home. Gordon, who worked for Inverclyde Council for almost 40 years, was a well-known face in Greenock. His loved ones have been left devastated by his death. Daughter Stacy, 36, says her dad was a proper family man who worked hard all his life and never wanted a lot of fuss - right up until the end. Stacy said: It s so hard to take.
