Dear Andy I will deeply miss you - your lively energy, your humour, honesty, compassion, your relish for life, your commitment to inner work. You were one of the most non-judgemental people I've ever met. Thank you for your friendship and your shining light. I honour what you brought to the world. with love David

Hey Andy. Such good memories over so many Ridwhan retreats and Mens Groups. Experiences together of sublime, expansive and divine moments and also the sharing and mutual support through the tough times and those dammed super ego attacks. You had so much courage my friend, not just on the waves but on the inner journey, such a capacity to tell it as it is, uncensored, and able to bring the light of your prodigious theoretical spiritual/Ridwhan knowledge. Go Well my friend into the light, love and the formless John
