On Sunday I posted the sad news that Andy had died of a heart attack on Friday afternoon. He was at Leicester Square station on the London Underground on his way to a meeting of the Association of Lighting Directors. It was typical of Andy that on a fine sunny evening, instead of packing up for the weekend he was involved with something he really loved and contributing freely of his time to produce the Association's magazine - Focus - described by ALD President (the highly respected lighting designer Richard Pilbrow) as "the best lighting design magazine in the world!" The comments by other officers of the Association testify to the high regard in which Andy was held, by everyone his life touched.
Roger Fox moved swiftly to publish as an Obituary Andy's profile on the Association of British Theatre Technicians' web site. Based on Andy's (as ever self-effacing) autobiographical sketch, as originally published in the Profiles series by Entertainment Technology Press in 2000 it 'tongue in cheek' records Andy's career and great love of everything theatrical.
I have yesterday and today been contacting Andy's clients and friends. With Andy, clients tended to be friends as well - he was just that sort of person. All were saddened by Andy's death and many have offered help and support to our business. For this I am deeply grateful.
As information about arrangements become available they will appear on the Technical Marketing web site, the blog and Twitter.
