Ian MacLeod
He passed away on 23th, May 2014. Born on 29th, April 1938 in Cardross, Scotland where he attended local schools and was known as 'kilty' as he always wore a kilt. He served his apprenticeship at a local engineering firm before joining the merchant navy. After leaving the service he worked at a local distillery where he met and married Pat. They had 3 daughters, a son (who died 12 years ago) and 5 grandchildren. When the children were older he joined Saudi Aramco in (1979) and was assigned to Abqaiq Job Skills Training Department as a Mechanical Training Instructor. Ian was involved with various self-direct groups, darts and one of his loves - Golf. He was also a well respected gentleman who worked tirelessly for many charities. He was transferred to Ras Tanura Job Skills Training where he continued his work in Mechanical Engineering as a Trainer and then as a Quality Assurance Inspector, finally retiring in 1999 from the Company after 20 years service.
On his return home to Scotland Ian became actively involved with his local Golf Club, Cardross, where he was Club Captain for two years and wrote the club newsletters until his passing.
