We have set up this page to honour Andrew Christopher Penny, a truly one of a kind gentleman.<\/p>\n
A gentleman that brought such light into this world with his positivity and strength. A man who proud themselves on their quality of craft and amazing family. Andy, Shaky, was one of life\u2019s kind souls with a passion for music, cars and great times.<\/p>\n
He leaves his lifelong wife Julie and his two sons, Charles and Jack. He will truly be missed, and we are so grateful to have had him in our lives. We dedicate this page to him and the life he gave us all.<\/p>\n
A life, sadly, that will never be the same again.<\/p>\n

Losing a best friend, father, mentor and partner in crime, all in one, and the pain of which is something I would not wish on my biggest enemy. However, I carry myself tall on the education and memories you have given me. A life and upbringing that cannot be bettered. You are my soul mate and I will see you again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When you lose someone you love,
Your life becomes strange,
The ground beneath you becomes fragile,
Your thoughts make your eyes unsure;
And some dead echo drags your voice down
Where words have no confidence
Your heart has grown heavy with loss;
And though this loss has wounded others too,
No one knows what has been taken from you
When the silence of absence deepens.<\/p>\n
Flickers of guilt kindle regret
For all that was left unsaid or undone.<\/p>\n
There are days when you wake up happy;
Again inside the fullness of life,
Until the moment breaks
And you are thrown back
Onto the black tide of loss.
Days when you have your heart back,
You are able to function well
Until in the middle of work or encounter,
Suddenly with no warning,
You are ambushed by grief.<\/p>\n
It becomes hard to trust yourself.
All you can depend on now is that
Sorrow will remain faithful to itself.
More than you, it knows its way
And will find the right time
To pull and pull the rope of grief
Until that coiled hill of tears
Has reduced to its last drop.<\/p>\n
Gradually, you will learn acquaintance
With the invisible form of your departed;
And when the work of grief is done,
The wound of loss will heal
And you will have learned
To wean your eyes
From that gap in the air
And be able to enter the hearth
In your soul where your loved one
Has awaited your return
All the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
