Dear Jan and family
Trev / Nita are deeply upset to hear this sad news.
For many years my trips to the farm hunting with Andrew have been a big part of my life - times spent with you both full of laughter, good stories and friendship. I'll miss him more than I can say. He was a wonderful guy and I feel lucky to have called him a friend.
With heartfelt sympathy
