I've been in close contact with Adrian and Co. @ Murketts since Andy went on his sick leave some months ago, constantly hopping & wishing for his return to rude health.
After dropping my CSL off with Murketts earlier on this morning, Adrian sadly informed me of this terrible news which has left a lump in my throat and very few words (apart from what's been kindly said already) to express my deepest sorrow to Andy, his family and to all that know him well.

As Tom has mentioned, miracle can & do happen and we certainly need one right now for Andy P.
We live in hope.

I don't know Andy and have never dealt with Murketts. Most of my friends have and all bar non always spoke very highly of him, his service and his enthusiasm for BMW. I'd like to add my sorrow at hearing this news. There are very few people in the motor industry like him.

On a positive note, as mentioned miracles do happen. I'm sure he'll be in our thought's and those that do, their prayers.

I have sent the Shim on his way full of coffee and chicken sandwich after his trip to Murketts.
I can but echo the thoughts and words of you all ... there are no words really when this scourge on society calls ... by that sadly I mean Cancer ...not Shimmy ! ...

I mean no disrespect to Andy in that fun comment, but I for one am not writing him off , so lets try and keep some humour going amongst the obvious sadness of Andy's current, and hopefully temporary set back !
I could never thank him enough for the service he has extended to myself and the Broom ..so ... you get well soon Andy mate ....cos my gearbox is playing up !

+ 1 Never had the pleasure of meeting or using him, but just wanted to extend my wishes also and hope that he keeps fighting

Indeed

Each time I've dealt with him, he has given me the best service. I really do hope that things turn around.

I know what it's like to have someone diagnosed with cancer; my brother was diagnosed with it a couple of years back and very luckily survived the subsequent treatment, only to have a stroke 5 years later after being given the all clear from the doctors - Somebody high above must have been looking after him and he survived that without any subsequent side effects (he's a very lucky soul - if you could call getting cancer and stroke lucky, surviving it definitely is). He is now as healthy as ever - so miracles do happen.

My best wishes go out to Andy and hope a miracle will happen upon him also.

Glad to hear your bro pulled through Tom

Hi,

I do not know the Guy or have used Murketts, but its
pretty obvious the Guy went the extra yard,
even more at times for the CSL brigade.

So how about the CSL Brigade go that extra
mile in return now ?

Not sure if BMW AG or BMW UK would assist with
something, but genuine appreciation is so
much more than just words, and should always
be made in person, not on a Card.

Some have mentioned Miracles, well you need to
give a person a beleif for that, not just polite words.

Having been to the dark side briefly in 2002, and
as much as luck was involved, you still got have the
burning desire to dispel whatever life may throw your way.

''Andy's CSL Christmas'' at say Murketts, or where ever,
but I am sure there are more than just one or two
current or even ex CSL owners, who would be up for
something like this.

Regards,

The Gorilla.
