Mr

Andy was a very good man, kind and completely practical. A good neighbour, family man, friend & role model.

Something he said once really struck a chord: “If I can’t think of a reason to not go…… count me in”. So refreshing to have someone who always said ‘why not!’.

So, off to Spain 🇪🇸  on holiday. He came with a group of my friends – and promptly became their friend, he was good at that. He impressed us all so much with his wickedly sharp but dry humour.

I remember him taking charge in the kitchen. Always gently steering the ship – but in a lovely disarming way.

I will forever treasure our evenings on the roof terrace, talking into the wee small hours – Gin & Tonic in hand!

Then – the following day kayaking, just the two of us paddling off the Mediterranean coast in choopy seas. In hind sight, not a very good idea, but I’m so glad we did it. I am fortunate to have such wonderful memories to treasure, of such a lovely man.

You will be so very much missed “Crofy”. Xxx

P.S. I will wear the loud shirt you gave me with immense pride!
