When I first met Andy it was clear that he was a much respected and loved member of the Salesian community. He was always friendly and poised and had a great competitive streak. I remember running against him in the sprint competition on Sports Day and just beating him over the line and then him questioning me about my running spikes, diet and lunchtime training. He was always competitive but not ruthlessly, just driven. Andy frequently had a kind word to share but could also make you laugh with his commentary on school life and later his observations on life in general. It was always a high point of any reunion to chat to him and see his professional and family life blossom. He was a special person in all these areas and will undoubtedly have left a void but more importantly a magnificent contribution that he, and everyone who knew him, can be proud of.
