Sad news about Andy WL (updated)

Post by corrosive »

I've no idea how to put this, so...

Andy (username/gamertag 'Andy WL') died suddenly last night of a heart attack. He leaves behind his wife and two children.

I know a few of you here knew him, and thought you'd want to know.

I really don't know any more at the moment, I only just found out myself earlier this morning.

He's already sorely missed
:cry:

-- updated --

(I thought I'd put this in the first post so it's easier to find.)

The notice in the local paper reads as follows :
WHARAM-LEWIS. -- On January 1, 2005, suddenly, Andrew, aged 33 years. Beloved husband of Nicola, devoted father of George and Olivia. Funeral service at All Saints' Church, Coddington, on Friday, January 14 at 10am, followed by cremation at Grantham. Family flowers only, please. Donations in memory of Andrew for a bench at Rufford Park and play equipment for Coddington School may be sent to E.Gill and Sons Ltd Funeral Directors. Tel 01636 677461.
If there's any need I can probably sort out paypal or something and forward it on to the funeral directors.

If people want to paypal, my paypal address is available by PM.

The funeral directors address is :
E.Gill and Sons Ltd.
55 Albert Street
Newark
Nottinghamshire
NG24 4BQ

--- Update 13th January 2005

I've just taken the donations made to my Paypal account to the Funeral Directors. Thanks to all those who made donations. If there are any more donations made I will take them down next week - there's still time.

Oh Jesus - that's awful. Don't know Andy that well, but played him a few times on Live.

Our best to his family... :( :(

Oh no, I only spoke to him a few days before Christmas. :cry:

My best to his family, he seemed like a great guy. Really sad news. Shall we send a wreath to the funeral?

Ach.

I've just done a quick search on a few posts of his, one being he was gonna pick up collectors Edition of Zelda for people - reading that and thinking he's no longer here.

Life is but a heartbeat away.

Praying for his wife and young family.

I am in total shock!

I didn't know him as a 'close' friend but did work with him for a while and he really was a nice guy, a 'larger than life' bloke who never let life get him down, always had a witty retort or a joke and a permanent smile on their face.

My heartfelt condolences to his wife and family. :cry:
