Originally from Carntyne, the family moved to nearby Springboig in 1950 and that is where Jamie stayed.He was a long-standing member of Springboig Community Council and a Citizens Advice Bureau committee member.He had expanded his considerable mastery of the written word by obtaining a certificate in journalism.

Throughout his years in Springboig, Jamie lived his Christian faith as a member of his local Eastbank Church of Scotland where he had been the founder member of its youth fellowship.In the appreciation of his life that appeared in the church magazine, it was said Jamie "always had a concern for justice".That was a factor which ran through every aspect of his life.He did not fall into the trap of believing the essential strands of his life should be kept separate.
