So very sad to hear of Andy’s death. We shared so much correspondence and so many visits over the years. I stayed in touch for as long as I could after he started to become ill, but eventually it became clear that phone calls and emails were a burden to him. I managed to get news of him once from his friend Neil (not Nax), but after that got no reply. So I have wondered about him so many times since. It’s good to know that he’s now at peace after such a difficult illness.
For those who might want to know, I understand that he had a rare form of Parkinson’s which eventually led to dementia - so hard to believe about such a vibrant person.
I would have liked to have gone to Andy’s funeral on the 11th, but it’s just after I get back from Australia, and the day my English family arrive for a visit. And it’s a long and complicated journey by train and taxi. I’m hoping I’ll be able to join in on line.
I’ve been thinking about all the good times, with a mixture of gladness and sorrow.
