I had the very great pleasure of knowing Andy since the age of 9 when we went to the same school down in Northampton. We went to different schools from 13 but kept in regular contact and met up for reunions every six months or so.
As has been mentioned in many previous threads this accident was an absolute tragedy. Andy was a person you were proud to call your friend. Considerate, good fun and most of all a pleasure to be around. To have know someone for most of your life and then have them so cruelly taken away is so unbeliveably sad. My thoughts and condolences are with Andy's parents and brother, Matthew.
