I first met Sandy during the US2 project, he was one of the friendliest and most personable people I have come across inside or outside of work. Visiting from Aberdeen, he was one of the first to welcome me in Brentford and one of the people I most enjoyed seeing on any subsequent vistis. I was fortunate to get to know Sandy a little and spend some time socialising in London and Sweden – he was always fantasic company, and we had some brillaint laughs. It was always great to hear about his trips to the coast or vistis back to Scotland, and his re-telling of his fitness and sporting exploits was infectious. A truely rare and decent man, he’s greatly missed. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.
