So sorry to hear of Andy's passing. I have fond memories of working alongside Andy during my time in the Navy and the Union Steamship Company.
Kind Regards

Hi Andy, I posted earlier but the more I thought about it the more memories came flooding back, you were a great guy, friend and shipmate, I started to remember our escapades especially in Sydney and Brisbane, Breakfast Creek... or Sydney, the rocks and China town, maybe the BBQ king or that Spanish restaurant whose name slips my aging mind now. Then on to meet the lads in the Hotel and maybe bring the Irish band back to the ship. great days and you a great friend, staying with you before we cycled back to Ch-Ch. Sharing a couple of Brandies (Always the good stuff). How over the ten years we were together I can't remember you ever being angry, your easy come infectious smile.
Nothing... nothing was ever too much when it came to helping your shipmates.
When things got icky down the hold you never stood back with your hands on your hips watching me, but your hands as dirty as mine. We laughed so much, You slipping me a can of VB out of the stewards bar window. But definitely always that happy, gentle smile and tolerance. I started to remember how close you and I were and how it made those years sailing together so much easier. Like so many who knew you and some of the names on here I remember it was so great having your friendship and gentle heart in our lives. I haven't and will not ever forget you. If you were suffering I'm happy you're at peace now. You gave so much to all of us in an unassuming kind way. Thank you for being part of my/our live's. So long buddy.

Sail on into the sun old pal. Love and condolences to the family. A great man and shipmate.

A privilege to have known you a great shipmate RIP

Farewell on your final voyage Andy. You were a pleasure to sail with and now that you have Crossed the Bar I have only memories of your infectious chuckle. Rest in Peace

Andy, rest in peace mate. A huge loss to all that knew him, a good man taken too early, will miss you.

RIP cousin, taken too young, you are now pain free, have fond memories of our growing up in Millerton. Xx
