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.
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.
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
