From Facebook on January 6, 2024:

It is with deep sadness to advise the Strachur and wider community that our much loved dad Alex Tickell Snr., after a relatively short illness, passed away at lunchtime today in Inverclyde with his family by his side.
In the meantime the family respectfully request some time and privacy to grieve - many thanks.
Kindest regards
Alex and Marsha Tickell
