Alistair Rettie.
1929 - 2020
Created by: Hannah Hayhurst
Alistair Rettie passed away surrounded by his family on 29th November 2020, aged 90. He was a retired farmer and a real character with a great sense of fun! He was very close to his family and he was a very sociable man with a wide circle of friends. Hospice at Home through St Leonard’s Hospice allowed Alistair to remain at home for his final days. Hospice at Home cared for him in a kind and professional manner. Their warm and friendly approach was never rushed and they supported Alistair and his family during his final days.

Donation made in support of Hospice at Home at Hannah, Alistairs granddaughters request after Hannah successfully completed the Loch Ness Marathon! We can all hear Alistair say “she’s quite a wee lassie” and we know how proud Alistair would be although he’d also say ‘she must be half mad” too!!

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since my dad passed. Thinking of him and remembering the care and support both my dad and the family received from Hospice at Home so I’m donating to St Leonard’s instead of buying Christmas cards this year.

A lovely straight talking man, the world would be a far better place if there had been more Ali Retties and you could never put a value on his wonderful smile. Sleep well my friend. The Limestone Cowboy.
