Tributes

My deepest condolences to Andrew's family. I had the privilege of working with Andrew for about 18 months at Eastland Generation. In fact, we started on the same day. From the very beginning, Andrew's warm smile and quick wit brought a unique energy to the team. He was always ready with a clever response, making every conversation both engaging and enjoyable. Losing a loved one is never easy, especially when they are taken from us too soon. Andrew's presence and spirit will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Kia kaha (stay strong).

Jo McArthur

Our condolences to Andrew's family and friends. Andrew worked at New Zealand Steel from the 10th May 2004 - 20th October 2016 where he made many friends in the Rolling and Finishing CMG teams. He will be well remembered for his quick wit and practical jokes on fellow workmates. There was never a dull moment with Andrew working on our team and there was never a week that would go by that Andrew was not in the thick of it. While we can't attend the service in person today, we will be following the service online. Our thoughts are with Dallas and the family during this very hard time. Andrew will be missed by those who worked with him at New Zealand Steel. Rest in Peace buddy. Gone but not forgotten. in our thoughts Jo, Michael, Marty, Philip, and many more.
