Andy was a wonderful neighbour to us for 12 years. We would speak regularly, often through his front window and talk about life and how much he disliked the tree out front! We would water each other's gardens, make poor gardening decisions together and occasionally meet for a drink down the pub!
There was always something to laugh about and we miss him.
Andrew 'Andy' Atkins (6 Jan 1946 - 16 Feb 2026)
