"I received the following yesterday from Chief Engineer Harry Curry:-

"I have just been in contact with Andy's sister who seems to be the one making all the arrangements. As per Andy's wishes there will be no-one at the cremation not even the family. However she wants some sort of service so she has arranged for a humanist memorial followed by lunch at a pub. Andy would like that I think.
The venue will be the White Lion in Warmington Road in Crewe, the time will be 12.30 on the 29th September. Could you post this info in case anyone else would like to attend and give him some sort of send off"

I'm sure many of you would like to be involved.
Sending our Condolences to his family & close friends.

Best Regards
John
