Everyone at West Whitlawburn Housing Co-operative Ltd has been deeply saddened by the passing of its former senior maintenance officer John Reilly.

John spent many happy and productive years working with WWHC (from 1993 to 2006), as well as working for Scottish Power, East Kilbride and District Housing Association, where John also became a management committee member, and previously being convenor of housing at East Kilbride District Council.

John was an excellent professional and a great friend to all at WWHC. John was the life and soul of the party, never slow to voice an opinion, a warm hearted, kind and very generous person. John was the unbeatable table-tennis champ of the office.

John made a tremendous contribution to the successes of WWHC and is very fondly remembered by WWHC tenants, committee members and staff. John will be sadly missed and WWHC’s thoughts and sympathies are with John’s wife Cathy and their three sons.
