Luke Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Posted on behalf of Frakke who has had some log in issues. My sincere condolences to Andy's family even though we never met. We did converse through this forum and joking aside ( of which there was quite a lot) I must say that Andy was always full of encouraging comments and gave the impression of "enthusiasm" for all he did. It is a shame that I never made it to OZ because flying "down under" would have been a true priviledge. I fear now that the community has lost a true and caring member NOT to kites but to "natural causes". Myself this year I have been lucky as I am alive after 3 heart operations and this brings home the true nature of life. I feel like I am on borrowed time. I should like to add that "those who burn twice as bright burn half as long" it is up to us to remember Andy in our daily thoughts each time we kite - heroes live on long after they're gone in memoriam alone finally condolences once more... RIP Andy sadly Frakke (UK kiter based in Sweden) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcdave Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Threw up a kite for a light wind sesh in some semi decent swell.. Hurt my previously cracked ribs again, but couldnt care less as its a reminder to sometimes simply live the moment.

Stuart Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 At Linda and the families request they would like to say thank you to all your tributes, thoughts, warm messages and heart felt memories of Andy. It comforts the family knowing how many friends hearts Andy has touched. Many kind regards Linda & Family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir lancelot Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I met both AndyFly and Wolfie on the same day, and as you can imagine they did a good job of being intimidating straight up! But soon I found both embraced friends and life alike. Andy really got me interested in buggying and was a fountain of encouragement, support and humour, of which the last was definitely plentiful. I feel very lucky to have at least met him once, and wish we could have been in the same state! My sincere condolances to Andy's family, we've all lost a great friend.

VB Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I've not been out for a spin in my buggy for some time now and haven't posted on this forum for a while, but last time I went out to Amaroo, who should greet me with a big smile and an offer to fly his kite...AndyFly. He was always available to help out with gear and tips. Always loved his posts and pics....he will be sadly missed by the Canberra crew and the wider kiting community around Australia, but even more by his family. My heart goes out to them at this sad time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Just heard the news tonight after a phone call to liger. I dont know how to react, Andy was one of the best blokes in and out of the kite scene that i have ever had the pleasure to know. Unfortunatly due to work i have been in Darwin for the last year and wasnt able to spend much time flying with the great man, but the good times i did have with Mr Fly i wil remember always. Rest in peace bro, you will forever be in the hearts of many. The world will not be the same without you. My thoughts go out to the Fly family.

mojo Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Sadly, I never knew him, and my thoughts are with his family, his wife and children. He sounds like he was a damn nice fella to know, I do hope that all who knew him can take a lil bit of Andy with 'em and remember those times with a smile.
