We have known each other for 50 years. Andy was a special man always had a smile for everyone and a great sense of humour. He will be very missed
Sending love and hugs to Maureen and family on this sad day, our thoughts and condolences go out to you all, lots of love from Mum, Heather, Wendy and Lynne xx
Andy you always made me feel welcome when I came over from Scotland to visit my sister Maureen, I remember the first time I came into your house ended up experiencing a bloody earthquake 🙈 I loved the cheeky banter we would have and laughed when I got you on the phone and you thought I was Maureen, you couldn’t tell the difference 🤣 will miss you, until we meet again. Love from your sister in law Wendy ❤️
I've know Sean and Cheryl for all my life. Andy and Maureen they were so wonderful to us growing up. Offering my mum a job just as a cleaner just until she found another job. Me and Sean worked together at new world in 2007 . At nights I used to wait inside for someone to take me home. Always see Andy turn up ready to start. He was such a awesome man to get along with. Made sure everyone got home safe. Andy maureen Cheryl Sean and rest of family our hearts go out to you guys. Sorry I didn't know dad was sick as now living down in Christchurch. Wishes go out to the family . Cheryl I'm always here if u need to chat. Heaps of love From Jess and her family xoxo Thank you for inviting me to one of Sean bdays and actually meeting the family and darts member .
