THE wife and mother of the man and child whose bodies were found in Glencoe on Wednesday has paid tribute to the pair.
Tom Parry, aged 49, and his son Richie Parry, 12, were found around Stob Coire Nan Lochan in Glencoe on May 29 and police said their deaths were the result of a fall.
The two had been hiking in the Scottish mountain range having journeyed up from their home in Cheshire.
They have now been formally identified.
Gemma Parry said: “Tom was a caring and loving father to his children and a loving husband to me, his wife Gemma.
“Richie was an energetic, loving boy who loved his quizzes, maths, and sports. He always cared for others as well no matter what.
“We would like to take this chance to thank the Scottish and Cheshire police as well as the mountain rescue service along with all the other emergency services involved in finding Richie and Tom.
“We would also like to say to the press to give me and my family some privacy during this time of grieving.
“We would also like to thank the community of Alsager and all of our family friends who have helped us and supported us throughout this time.
“Tom and Richie will be sadly missed and never forgotten.”
Police said there were no suspicious circumstances around the deaths and that a report has been submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.
Inspector Katy Duncan said: “Our thoughts remain with the Parry family at what is a very difficult time for them.
“We would like to thank everyone who responded to our appeal, to all emergency services and mountain rescue volunteers.”
