Luke Handley posted: “Devasted by this… Thoughts go to his family, and the watch and service….Be there for each other through this tough time! I’ll never forget the butt kicking he gave me over Cannock Chase or the time he gave me the eye when we had left our race numbers in the car at HPP….then followed by encouragement when he lapped me! #rideandracefreeandy.”
Councillor Greg Brackenridge, chair of WMFRA, said: “Our thoughts are very much with Andrew’s family. I know that his death has affected many people, within and outside of the service. We will ensure that we do all we can for those who need support.”
