Andy Gormanly had an accident yesterday and is in Lincoln County Hospital. I thought he was a member on Trucknet, but I am not sure what his nickname is. If anyone knows,please let us know and our thoughts go to him. He has quite a few injuries and broken bones etc. Get Well soon Andy. Liz and Terry.

Andrew Gormanly 4/2/55 - 10/1/09

It is with deep regret and sadness that I have to announce Andy died from his injuries around 2000hrs this evening.

His ex-wife and children are obviously very upset and have asked me to post this on their behalf.

My condolences to them all.

Sad news.

Whilst I never met Andy I can remember that he was instrumental in laying a wreath at the site in the North-East, where another driver, Derek Bailey, from Cornwall, was burned to death, and for which a local youth was later jailed. On the 1st anniversary of the occurrence, Andy, on behalf of TNUK, repeated the gesture. IIRC, he had a young son who accompanied him on these occasions and expressed a degree of pride in fulfilling this role.

If my memory serves me right, he also ventured (briefly) into the Driver Training field. Whereby his employer took on a Class C candidate who was trained 'on the job'. We exchanged a number of PM's on this subject and I supplied him with various training diagrams for use in his new venture.

Condolences to the one's left behind.

R.I.P. Andy.

Deeply saddened by this tragic event.

Andrew had been a member on here since 2003 and his contributions to the community were varied, informative and helpful. he was also active on other forums and took a large role in the Professional Drivers Association. He will be missed

My condolences to his family and friends

Good grief, that's awful. I was only talking to him at IKEA in Donny just before Xmas. A massive, massive loss to us all of a very good man.

by **Quinny** » Sun Jan 11, 2009 12:22 am

Does anyone know the circumstances of his accident?

And what is bizarre,is that Lucy and I had a phone conversation only a few days ago about my big accident in 2000,when I was lucky to survive.

There but for the grace of God,go I.

Ken.
