I was one of the many that got to know Andy through the Photography Corner, where we became virtual friends and maintained that friendhsip all these years since we “met”. I will miss seeing his photos, hearing about his family, and the many times that he provided encouraging and thoughtful, sometimes humourous comments on my and other people’s photos. It is such a tragic way for someone with so much life ahead to be taken so suddenly. My heart goes out to Charlotte and Lucy – Andy’s love for you was so evident in all the pics he posted that featured you. I am saddened to hear such news and though I never met him in person, I feel that I have a lost a dear friend….

Condolences to Charlotte and Lucy and family. I knew Andy from many years ago. We worked together at UCLH in London for a few years. We worked in the Private Patients Wing. He was my manager. I remember his humour and willingness to help others, me included. We needed humour as the building we worked in was old, the heating failed and the insurance companies and embassies we had to work with were a challenge. He was always kind and respectful to the patients whose cover/money was running out. We weren’t always the most popular people in the building. He was the only English person I ever met who had a genuine love for the Aussie drink, Bundaberg Rum. It’s an acquired taste. I always found that funny. His tales of backpacking around Australia were much appreciated to me, an Aussie, who on occasion was homesick. …

Worked with Andy 16 years ago. Great memories and lots of laughs.  Tragically taken far too soon. Love and hugs to all of the family xxx…

Andy will be sorely missed of that I am sure. Andy was a fantastic manager to me whilst he was at AF – gave me the chance to move into his team with no previous experience and then fully supported my progression and learning. He always pushed me to be the best I could in everything and always gave me time, encouragement and great laughs!  I shall remember Andy with great fondness. He was such a caring and friendly man with such compassion for those around him. I pass on my very deepest of sympathies to Charlotte & Lucy and all the rest of Andy’s family & friends who I know will all miss him so very much.    ‘Think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched, for nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so very much….’   Much Love  Laura Faiers  …

Andy and I met at a previous job and have stayed in touch for the last 17-18 years. Always good banter and always good laughs!   Andy was such a caring person and I know how important his family was !   I can’t believe he has been taken so soon! But I am sure he will still be riding his bike and running around up there watching down on us all! Love to the family x…

Andy, from the minute you joined AF, I knew you’d be a true friend forever.  Your delight as i told you in 2007 about my pregnancy. And then your happy news a while later.  How you showed me the pics of you and charlotte taken on each anniversary. There was no doubt if your love for Charlotte.  How I will “life with a ” series.  I so hope we are allowed to see Lucy grow..  ps.. you photoshopped my work pics .. now I’ll just have to suck up.   I cannot begin to express my pride to learn about your organ donation. My friend, you were and remained an exceptional, inspirational and kind person.  I will miss you but, remain for eternity your version of Ernst Blofelt xx  …
