"Since Andy's passing last Friday afternoon (12 July) we have been overwhelmed by the tributes and appreciation received from so many friends throughout the theatrical and lighting communities," says business partner David Brooks.
"Final details are still being planned but are expected to include contributions from family members and work colleagues and will feature music that Andy particularly enjoyed. Guests are asked to dress 'smart but cheerful', as we remember the happiness that Andy brought into the life of everyone he knew."
Andy's family have requested that in lieu of flowers, donations to one of the following three charities that were dear to him would be greatly appreciated:
Light Relief (a charity formed to practical support and/or financial help for lighting designers in times of extreme hardship - for information see www.lightrelief.org.uk/casehistories/index.htmll.
The Friends of Richmond Park, a charity dedicated to the conservation and protection of the park. www.frp.org.uk/friendsl.
Alzheimer's Society (by cheque with a covering letter specifying 'Singing for the Brain, East Hertfordshire'). For more information see www.alzheimers.org.uk.
Donations by cheque should be sent to T.H.Sanders & Sons, 447 Upper Richmond Road West, East Sheen, London SW14 7PR.
