Very sorry to hear this saddest of news.
Only met Andy very few times and all too briefly but I will remember him as a personable and enthusiastic man.
Another reminder if any were needed to get yourselves checked guy's if you have any doubts about your health as per our recent thread on the subject.
RIP Andy.
Life can be crap. He knew it was coming....we knew it was coming....but it's still a punch in the gut to hear he's gone. It's yet more incentive to live life in the moment and make it count. Sad he never got his car finished, but I think he was still having lots of fun with his R8.....only slightly faster than a supercharged 2GR-powered LB, eh Craig??
We'll all miss him, that's for sure.
A true gentleman, generous with his knowledge and time.
My condolences to his wife Carol, his family, and wide circle of friends
RIP Andy
I was very saddened to read on his wife Carol message today this very bad news with Andy passed away on thurdays after a long fight against metastatic prostate cancer!
It’s a big loss of a friend and a true gentleman I have met several time I was in England and I have some regrets to not visit him as he invited me last time I was going at LB workshop!
I would be happy to see him driving his Aseptogyl Stratos finished!
RIP in paradise with great cars and motorbikes!!
Not news I wanted to hear.
Andy was a good guy. I went over to his place to see his build, he came over to mine in his R8 to see my build. We met at LB and shared numerous email exchanges and mad ideas about Stratos builds. I was always impressed with his pragmatism about his condition. He handled it with amazing dignity and never seemed bitter about the hand he had been dealt. I am not sure I would be able to approach it in the same way.
RIP. I'm glad to have known you Andy.
My thoughts are with his family and friends.
Met Andy only once and by chance at one of my visits to LB. We chatted as I'd overheard that he'd had a recent procedure and wished him well with his recovery. He replied in a very matter of fact way that his condition was terminal! He seemed a genuinely very friendly guy as others have confirmed and so sad to hear that his condition has taken him too soon from his family and friends.
Condolences to Carol and Family, you can expect something as much as you want & it is still a shock. It will be impossible, thankfully to forget Andy's fantastic smile, what a lovely bloke.
The level of his Stratos is near impossible to match & a huge credit to Andy as he has created something that may well out last us all.
Rest in peace Andy.
So sad to learn of the terrible news regarding the loss of Andy. We always enjoyed meeting at different events .I remember his hospitality at Silverstone Woodlands when he had the use of a motor home . He took time to show me and Ian around his new R8, which he was proud of . A true smiling warm hearted gentleman of generous and courageous spirit.You will be sadly missed. Condolences to Carol, friends and family . Paul & Ian H x
RIP Andy. Sad news indeed. Many memories from our French rod trip in the early days of his prognosis.
Our thoughts and condolences to Carol.
