It is with a sad heart I write to share with you the passing of a fine English chap. A fellow archer and ozbow member. You have all seen his outstanding fletching, as he shared with us all, the pride he took in his work.
You have lost your battle with cancer my friend, your pain in over and may you Rest in Peace.
It was our privilege to know you sir.
Goodbye Andy.
Sue and Steve.

Unfortunately I didn't know Andy that well, I'd only spoken to him a few times, but I do know he was a top bloke. My thoughts go to his family and friends.

Re: Vale AndyF
Andy, saw you only a couple of months ago and was excited with the prospect of you moving to the Mountains. You were one of the good guys, always smiling and happy. People gravitated to you.
I am glad to have met you and called you my friend. You will be sorely missed. Steve

Re: Vale AndyF
Andy i only met last year, he had this crazy enthusiasm for shooting and instantly dragged me into the world of Warbows an introduction i'm glad i had. i wish we could have shot another end together before you left.
you'll be missed mate for the banter, the advice but most of all just the friendship.
let the arrows fly!

Re: Vale AndyF
Andy was widely known in advertising circles too and I've seen many tributes to him on Facebook.
Andy I felt much sadness when I found out about this mate. Your happy, funny and friendly nature and just your presence at the wise mans at hunter shoots will be widely missed .
