Message from Gherkin Head

For me, Andy was simply a great friend and mate.

I loved his sense of humour. We would bounce off each other and just have a lot of fun. I also enjoyed his intellect, we had many long discussions about issues big and small. Even though he was very much left of centre ( Politically of course ) we could still have a civilised and enjoyable debate.

You don’t need me to tell you that Andy was a committed family man. I feel that he has left a big hole in my life, but that is nothing compared to what Sally, Harry and Rachel have to deal with. I wish them my love and best wishes. There are many tough days ahead but being a very sensible and practical person, he would want them to mourn but then get on living their full lives that he helped set up.

Love you Andy R.I.P.
