The beloved son of Doreen and John, cherished partner of Nid. Also a dearest friend who will be so sadly missed by all his family and friends. Donations are welcome to The British Heart Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew was born on Friday 13th August near Stafford to proud parents Doreen and John. At school Andrew was popular with both teachers and pupils alike. He loved the outdoors and was a member of cubs at the age of 6 years where he learned the importance of team work from an early age, something that stayed with him all his life. He loved lads and dads football, his agility and height made him a natural goal keeper but once he got a BMX bike the muddy football pitches were left behind. At 16 he joined the Royal Signals, it gave him the adventure and challenge he needed.\u00a0 Whether it was getting his first stripe or becoming a full corporal, his family were his biggest support and proudest of his achievements. Andrew was a man who could think on his feet and knew how to get the odd weekend leave back home, asking his mother to send a bogus invite to a wedding or christening. It stopped when the sergeant cottoned on. Soon after moving to Blandford, Dorset, with the Royals he was sent to the first Gulf war on 1990\/91.<\/p>\n<p>Leaving the army Andrew, like many friends found civilian life a challenge. he lived abroad for many years. He loved Spain and Thailand and lived life to the full. He was a loyal friend and never took life or love for granted. Andrew was indeed a star that shone brightly and perhaps was never meant to grow old and weary. Friends like Scott, the two Tims', Ian and Dave testify to the love Andrew had for life. Unfortunately ill health became a feature of his life since 2006. It was in Barnsley where he eventually settled, that he lost his fight for life. His Geordie friend Andy has been especially mentioned for his great support to Andrew in very difficult times.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew's Funeral will take place on Thursday\u00a0 21st December 2017 in Crewe Crematorium Chapel at 10.40am. Any donations in Andrew's memory are for the valuable work of the British Heart Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                        \n                                                                                    <button\n                                                type=\"button\"\n                                                class=\"Condolences__actionLink Condolences__commentsTrigger\"\n                                                data-modal-content-id=\"CondolencesCommentsModalContent-49\"\n                                                data-modal-title=\"Comments\"\n                                            >\n                                                Comments                                            <\/button>\n                                            <div id=\"CondolencesCommentsModalContent-49\" class=\"Condolences__modalContentSource\" hidden>\n                                                <ul class=\"Condolences__commentsList\">\n                                                                                                            <li class=\"Condolences__comment\">\n                                                                                                                            <p class=\"Condolences__commentAuthor\">Kath &amp; Steve Peattie                                                                                                                                    on <time class=\"Condolences__commentDate\" datetime=\"2017-12-12T19:35:00+00:00\">December 12, 2017, 7:35 pm<\/time>\n                                                                                                                        <\/p>\n                                                                                                                        <p class=\"Condolences__commentText\">John &amp; Dor\r\n\r\nYou know our thoughts are with you.

Even though we have all gone in different directions, we all stayed in contact and me and my friend said the other day, not one of us can remember a bad memory in Andy&#039;s company. He was very very quick witted and funny. He will be missed. Once again I&#039;m deeply sorry for your loss as we all are.

Just heard the very very sad news from Faye about cousin Andrew....words cannot express the sadness and shock I feel right now and all my love and prayers go out to you at this extremely sad time, may you find strength and comfort over the coming weeks and months. No just in each other but in family and friends too. I feel so sad that we saw so little of each other but will take comfort in my faith in God who will keep everything about Andrew safe in his memory for the future hope of the resurrection.

Marjorie was born in 1923, the second child of Lucy and George Jones.\u00a0 She was a bright child and\u00a0 attended Pedley Street Infant and Bedford Street Senior School. After school her work was mainly clerical, working for County Clothes, Foden's, Palmer Man, a waitress at Hoptroffs Tea Room and for Chester Barrie in Solder Optics, where she interviewed and hired all the staff. She worked there in a senior position until she was 76 years old. Marjorie married Bill on boxing day 1944. They had two children Susan and Keith. She was so proud when her grandchildren arrived and prouder still when she became a great grandmother to four. Marjorie and Bill loved going to stay with Bill's relations in Blackpool, visiting the shows with the well known stars, and dancing in the Tower Ballroom. They also took holidays abroad with family and friends. She was a keen Crown Green Bowler and made many lifelong friends through the game. Marjorie's funeral will take place on Monday 11th December at 12 noon in the Crematorium Chapel, Crewe, followed by cremation.
