Leave your tribute hereAbsolutely shock to here the news about Andrew my heart sunk. You were such a friendly guy rest easy my friend.
Leave your tribute hereI cannot believe that I will never ever see him again, I only spoke to the late great Andrew less than 2 weeks ago to say hello and I was looking forward to seeing him again, but that now is not going to happen. I will miss that smile of Andrew, it was like he was in a good mood or bad mood but that does not matter he was always very well behaved and would not hurt a fly, he would treat everyone with respect and keep the peace. I will miss him very much and so will all of his friends and family who are going through the most horrible difficult situation at this time. I offer all of them my very sincere sympathy and condolence. High Wycombe will never ever be the same again without the late great Andrew, you may have gone way too soon but you will never ever be forgotten. You will be looking down on all of us. Rest in peace my very best friend and my dear buddy, I am so sad with tears.
