Lambourne Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 This is very sad news. I met him a few years ago at a Collectormania when I went through a bit of a Buffy stage. He was so nice and very funny. I never realised he was so young either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jola Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) I'm gutted, I really am. He was such a great person to be around. I'm proud to have been able to call him a friend as well as being able to work alongside him at the shows & conventions. He brought so much fun and laughter to everyone.

rainbowsparkle Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'm devastated. Lorne was by far my favourite character in Angel but I never got to meet him. My thoughts are with his family and friends. 33 is no age, really, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffy2k Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) andy was one of the nicest people i ever met from the buffy/angel verse and i'll miss him. He was always great fun, a true professional and went that extra mile for the fans. Anyone that ever met him will have nothing but very funny and happy memories and stories to tell. My love and thought are with his family, girlfriend and his friends at this sad time. love you andy Nicky x Edited April 1, 2009 by buffy2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michellepugh Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I just wanted to add on here my deepest condolances to Andy's family and friends. I remember the first time I met Andy (my first ever convention in fact) - it was down in London and he was there with Mark Lutz. The two together were the funniest people I have ever seen on stage. Andy had to keep leaving the signing - he thought he had an absyss on a tooth..... he told us at a future convention it turned out to be a piece of popcorn stuck! The thing is, despite the fact he was actually in quite a bit of pain at the time, he insisted on carrying on and that he would stay late if necessary to ensure that everyone who attended got their autograph. Andy was such a wonderful person - he was funny, considerate and friendly. I know that he will be missed by anyone who knew him. Rest in peace Andy.
