Oh No! I first Met Andy when I was lucky enough to join the Tillington plant buyers, He was our chairman. He was always so genuine, and didn't take himself too seriously. I look back on that part of my career with great fondness, and Andy was a big part in it. Years later when I was taken ill, he was kind enough to make contact. I am truly saddened by his passing.

Also very shocked. Such a knowledgeable guy and a great person too. So sad he was struck down by this terrible disease. Must admit when I was much younger and very little he was always kind to me, and I would often just copy him! I always liked Andy. Sincere condolences to Andy's friends & family
