It was an honour to know Andrew. He was the epitome of action, no words.

My deepest condolences to Sue and Phillip - two wonderful people who have done so much for our community, using their medical talents to help so many. A very compassionate family. - ❤ this is very sad. Thank you Andrew for your sacrifice, you are a true hero and like you I found watching this horrible war was difficult, I felt a desire to help also. I hope you get justice. ❤

I had delivered the Landrover to Chris on January the 1st in Kramatorsk. Spent much of the day with him. He called me on 5th and they both went missing on 6th. Rips me to pieces every time I think about it. RIP both.
