I hadn't met Andy until he started building a house last year in the street where I live. We had a few conversations over the time he was working here and we all had a lot of admiration for his talent as a bricklayer and stone mason and most importantly for how nice a person he was.
We were all shocked when we heard of his death on 25th September 2014 at the young age of 36. Andy leaves a partner and four young children and our thoughts are with his family and the many friends he had in his short life.
