RIP Andrew
Your technical knowledge and step by step thinking to problem solving will be missed. I am really glad to have met you in person on the last TITD trip!
Now go fix those Pajero's in the sky my man.

It is with great sadness that I am writing to let the forum know that Andrew passed away on the 18th June. He was diagnosed with a clear cell renal carcinoma (cancer) on the 29th April. He was admitted to the Donald Gordon Medical Centre on the 18th May. His sudden and unexpected passing due to septic shock has left a huge void in the hearts and lives of those who knew him.

Christine
Thank you for letting all us "webfriends" know.
We will miss Andrew dearly and even though a lot of us have only met in the virtual world of this forum we have grown to know each other better than one can sometimes imagine. His passion for his Pajero and the great outdoors could clearly be felt and his comments could always be relied upon for concise and factual accuracy!
There will be a void left in his place.
Our condolences from the Pajero Owners Club of SA to all his family and friends.
