I met up with Richie yesterday and he told me this news and i was absolutely gutted…
Andrew and i shared many a pint, mainly in the retreat and we enjoyed each others company, as he had a wicked sense of humor..
This is none other than an unspeakable tragedy that no decent person ever deserves..
All the best Andy , you were a good guy and one of lifes good guys

Such a lovely man who always had time for you. You never waved and walked on but always stopped for a chat and offered a drink. You touched so many lives and will be missed by more people that you can imagine. A big heart and a big loss xxx
