Memories of Andy from other troops:

Ray Carroll

one very hot Sunday morning shift, Andy performing station duty wearing footy shorts thongs and uniform shirt.

I worked with Andy at the Cross in the 70s and had a beer with him at a Cross/Darlo reunion a few weeks ago. We laughed about some pretty funny war stories.
In the early 90s I was in the meal room at Riverstone when Andy who had left the coppers was asking John Valmanis for a reference as was applying to rejoin.
You should have seen the look on the Big Vs face, not to mention his comments.
Needles to say he gave him a good reference and he was back!

    RIP Andy, a tough street cop. We were on the same shift at Kings Cross when the police station was basically a counter, a holding cell and a meal room under the Crest Hotel. Only 3 of us on shifts there in the 70’s.
