Andi was the most contented child I have known. I never heard him cry, as a baby or as he grew. He was vitally interested in the world and what was happening about him. And he was always aware that there is an inner side to each of us. He built his own unique world-view with strong moral code.
colleen morganHe was gentle, and he was kind, and he was thoughtful, but was not to be easily distracted. He was sure of his path.
He was spiritual but not a follower of orthodox religion.
He had a strong and knowing soul dwelling in the home of his heart.
We are grateful he came to us, and was here for 50 interesting years.
Thank you Andi.
Now, you are free.
Andi.
colleen morganAndi was the most contented child I know. He accepted all things, sometimes with joyful excitement and happy anticipation but never with annoyance.
I don't remember him ever crying,either as a baby nor as he grew older. He watched the world with interest,indeed with fascination. He built his own independent world-view and did not fit in the formulas held by others.
He did what was right,by his own standards.
He was gentle and he was kind. Deeply thoughtful,with a soul that was held drep and strong n the cave of his heart.
Wel are gateful for his being with us for 50 years.
We accept his going.
Now, he is free.
Colleen and David
Andi had to be the most non demanding and easy going boy, always willing to help me when we were young. For example The times mum and dad were both at work he would potter around while I cooked dinner, always interested in what was needed next. That might've been because he was often hungry of course.
Jennifer MurphyI honestly can't remember ever seeing him get upset or bothered by anything as a kid, when I picture him I see his huge grin with those big teeth of his and eyes shining.
Mum always tells the story about the time his teacher from infants school called with a rather unimpressed attitude about the fact that Andrew had been turning up to school every day for a very long while without any lunch. Mum of course quite assuredly insisted that Andi would have indeed been taking lunch. Which lead to the question of what had been going on....perhaps he'd been eating it on the way to school. So when mum asked him about it he said he didn't know what was happening to his lunch. He packed it every day into his old leather satchel and then every day at lunch time he found it wasn't there. In typical Andi fashion it never occurred to him to say anything about it to anyone. I imagine him just shrugging to himself as he found his bag empty again....so mum then took a look at his bag only to find a hole where the stitching had gone big enough for his sandwich to drop out on the way to school each day. This was very much a reflection of his cheerful and laid back acceptance of things that came his way.
He was a good and loyal friend and as he got older he developed a deep sense of justice and always stood up for anyone he felt was in need of support.
He was generous and gregarious, with the typical dry wit and determined nature of the Morgans.
He loved to talk and laugh, was confident and was never reserved about offering his opinion.
And from when he was young he had a certain style, he was a gentle man who thought well of himself and expressed this in the way he dressed, spoke, and carried himself in all areas of his life.
To gather my thoughts to write this has been very hard. To find the words to describe this man I've know for most of my life wasn't as simple as I first imagined.
I loved him without thought, without words, he was and always will be a part of my very being.
Where to start..
Veronica McmahonAndi made me smile each time i saw him, he was a kind, lovable man i have every met. I think it had to be one of the first times i met him was when he played Santa at work. He made every child and adult smile and laugh with excitment. Andis heart was filled with gold and cared about all that was near. Words cant describe the man i call as my extended family. I loved him and will always love him with all my heart.
Sean, Tiah and Connor will take there memories and keep them with them forever.
Andi you truley are an amazing person and we are so extremely lucky to have been part of your life.
We remember with great affection Andi staying with us during school holidays when James would join us from Melbourne.
Pip, Libby Morgan and familyThey spent many very happy times together at Roseville.
Andi was a lovely young boy who grew into a very gentle and kind man and his loss will be very sadly missed.
Our thought are with Fiona and family at this very sad time.
I remember you being a great uncle to me, even tho we havent spoken in along time i never stopped loving you
Nathan GallagherRest In Peace
Uncle Andi
I only remember Andi as a young boy he was kind and generous and had a good imagination . He used to walk my daughter Larissa who was younger to school. My heart is with you all on this day Anne.
Anne LinnellI will remember Andrews love for his children, his ready acceptance of their thoughts and his acceptance of others for who they were. I remember visiting with my family and the warmth of andi's welcome and specific engagement with Bethany and Josh was lovely. Memories of playing in the park and long chats about all sorts of things
Tim AllchinThe phone call in November last year to say he was home, it was wonderful having a nice long chat with him and he sounded good. Like normal he said love you as we finished our conversation. He made my day. Love you Andi xxx
