Andy was my closest friend at school and we then both went to Guy’s Hospital to study medicine. Amazingly we then both decided to join the Armed Services and continued to keep in touch throughout his life.
Andy was my inspiration - always trying to keep up academically but never succeeding. We both did Physics, Chemistry and Biology A levels and have fond memories of our time in Mrs Grant’s class. Andy was good at everything and as far as I can remember seemed to be Captain of every sport - except tennis. It was the only game I could beat him at! He was an excellent actor and I always remember him playing Macbeth at school. Not surprisingly he became head boy and I was thrilled to be his deputy. He was such an example to all of us and was popular with everyone. He had no enemies and we all respected him hugely. We all knew he was going to be successful. What a shock for all of us when he failed Oxbridge. How was that possible - academically strong, head boy and captain of most sports.
He loved his time at Guys and again excelled. He Captained the Guy’s Hospital football team and also played for the University of London Team. He travelled widely with the Air Force and then became a consultant Paediatrician at Basingstoke District Hospital. With his huge talent he was soon running the Department. Andy then went on to help run the NHS in London - a really massive and stressful job.
We always kept in touch even though it was sometimes rather sporadic. He was one of my dearest and best friends and he is sadly missed.
