  • Dear Michelle and family,

    It’s incredibly difficult to find the right words when someone as special as Andy leaves us too soon. Though he may no longer be with us, the memories he has left behind are ones that will stay with us forever. While we mourn the loss of our dear friend, we know that cancer cannot take away the laughter, kindness, or joy he brought into our lives.

    We shared countless good times together over the years, both in our work and in our personal lives.

    Let’s take this moment to remember just how fragile and fleeting life can be. Things can change in an instant, and so let’s cherish each day with more kindness, patience, and grace. Let’s laugh when we can, embrace when we need to, and never take a single moment for granted.

    Though Andy is no longer here, the way he lived his life, boldly, authentically, and always with love, will continue to inspire and light our way.

    He lived fully, and in doing so, he reminded us all of how precious and meaningful each moment is.

    In his honor, let’s continue to live with the same energy, kindness, and spirit that Andy brought to us all. What a truly great Aussie bloke he was and a good friend.

    With heartfelt sympathy and warmth,

    Paul and Sharon

  • Recently a group of Blackwoods alumni met at the twice yearly reunion , and as always , the ex General Managers, Managing Directors , Sales , Finance and Operations leaders all asked how was Andy getting on, and retold stories of his talent, humour, loyalty and friendship. Blackwoods and many of those working alongside Andy , will never forget him. Barry Hoare
