Andy very kindly took me in as a lodger following my traumatic house sale; his easy-going manner (which we will all remember) helped my ‘transition’, and we quickly settled into our own, highly agreeable version of ‘Rising Damp’ (me as either Alan or Philip – take your pick) Andy didn’t even flinch when my cats urinated on the straps on his TA kit…
I do, and shall – for as long as I am alive – remember Andy as a lovely, warm and friendly person, but most of all for his superb sense of humour. You were assured of a good time in his company. He was one of a kind, and will be sorely missed by us all.
