Andy Waters - RIP
« on: January 21, 2023, 08:40:33 pm »

 
Re: Andy Waters.
I have been asked to post a short statement.

I understand Andy Waters passed away on the 21stJanuary 2023. 

Andy was an excellent model builder and skilled engineer. 

The passing of Andy, albeit very sad does have a positive note in that his organs have been donated to help others. 
The family will always have a lasting memory that Andy helped others.

That is just so sad. Andy was full of life and making so much of it. It just seems so unfair.

My deepest sympathiies to his family. They must be devastated.

This is such sad news. I never had the pleasure of meeting Andy but I always followed his posts with interest and admiration for his skills, I also enjoyed the occasional discussion on the relative merits of various malt whiskies so I will drink a toast to his memory next time I crack open a bottle.


My deepest sympathies to his family for this tragic and sudden loss.

My sincere condolences to Andy’s family, and that Andy donated his organs so others get a new chance in life, just shows how great a person he was, he will be missed.

From Facebook ....


My darling Andy is with the angels now, a shining star watching over us all from above. As his family we are beyond heartbroken. Your hundreds of kind messages, memories, well wishes and prayers have buoyed us over the course of these last intensely difficult days and you will never know how much it has meant to us to see how loved and well regarded Andy is. As a family we need to maintain radio silence for a while now, as we process our own grief and make the arrangements for the final part of Andy's journey. I know many of you will want to post further messages of support and to share your own grief at his passing; please do so. We will read and value every one of your posts when the time is right for us. We want you not to mourn Andy's loss but to rejoice that his path crossed yours, however briefly or infrequently, for whatever reason, and consider how much richer your life is for knowing him.
If you have any special memories or anecdotes of Andy or particularly any photos or videos you would be prepared to share with us, please send them to: watersa58@outlook.com
The Andy & Jacqueline Waters Family
