Gone … not forgotten. Think of Andy often. It was a pleasure to have crossed paths.

Dear Mandy, Taylah and Carli,

I've only recently learnt of Andy's passing and want to send my sincere condolences to you.

Working for Andy as his EA back in the day meant we had a blend of a professional and personal relationship. Every Monday morning I loved sitting in his office, and listening to him recap his weekends, how he spent them with you, what was next on the project list, and the general banter that we would always share. He would always have such a smile on his face when he spoke of his family.

It's been a long time since I worked for Andy, but I still remember the many insights he offered. He was truly encouraging and wanted to see everyone in their life follow their passion and succeed. I have taken so much of what he taught me into my career.

I'll look back at my time working for Andy with even more regard now, and hold onto all the spur of the moment, in the street chats we found ourselves in when crossing paths in Geelong.

VALE Andy.

My sincerest condolences to Mandy, Taylah, Carli and the family. I was fortunate to have worked with Andy at Holden, where he became a life long friend. He had a unique and vibrant sense of humour, a great guy that brought cheer and laughter to many. He will be sadly missed by us all. Great memories of a great mate.

September 11, 2020

Andy played so many roles in my life, and has influenced me so much in becoming the person I am today.

The classic cheeky uncle, who wants nothing more than to make fun of you and make you laugh - that was Andy.

The father-figure who subtly taught me how to be a good dad and husband - that was Andy.

The one who could always see through any bullshit and make sense of a situation - that was Andy.

The boss at work who was always had time for his staff, and was genuinely invested in their lives - that was Andy.

He was all of these things and more, and I'll never forget the memories we shared and everything I've learnt from him.

The one story that I'll never forget involving Andy was from when I was a really young kid, who was struggling to get Mum something for Mother's day - so I decided to make her a PowerPoint presentation. It included slides showing how lucky she was to have great friends and family, but for some unknown reason I decided to put a big red cross through Andy's face and had the caption - "except for Andy of course". Andy was relatively new to the family, and to this day I genuinely reckon I hurt his feelings - he was definitely taken aback. The truth is that we were actually the lucky ones to have him join our family, he really brought us all together.

If I grow up to be half the man that Andy was then I'll be pretty happy with who I am.

September 10, 2020

Can't believe I'm never going to see that grin or share a joke with you again buddy.
Glad we made so many incredible memories together. Won't make any sense to writing them down, they won't mean anything to anyone else, but I'll remember them always and smile. Love and miss you always mate, see you on the other side.
Love and strength to Mandy, Taylah, Carl and all the family.

September 9, 2020

As so many on here have similarly said, Andy's grin lit up AA HQ whenever he was there. He was such a lovely person, taken far far too soon.

My heart truly goes out to all his nearest and dearest ♡

Sleep tight Andy xx

September 4, 2020

My deepest condolences to Mandy, the girls and family. I went school with Andy from the age of 11. My Dad was is coal man years before... We had mutual friends growing up, we would see each other out at pubs etc. We went to the same technical college... Then when Andy joined the AA we would see each other when I was visiting etc...
Andy was alway fun to be around and had great personality... RIP Andy and thoughts an prayers are with you and your family..

September 4, 2020

Dear Mandy, Taylah and Carli,
How do you write a tribute about a man who meant so much to so many different people? Finding the right words to express the loss is never easy. But whilst attending the GMHBA memorial tribute for Andy this afternoon, it cemented the impact that Andy had on so many people. He had a special knack for making everyone he met feel special.

Nothing can replace the deep loss of a best friend, husband and father. Every time Andy spoke of all of you, his eyes twinkled, and you could see the undeniable love he had for you. I hope that by reading these tributes, if gives you great pride to know how he has touched so many lives.

Whilst the pain of your loss may never go away completely, I hope you find solace in knowing how loved he was. May you be able to process your loss in your own time and find comfort and support from many of us around you.
Love,
Linda

We had a fabulous holiday and will have those memories always with Andy and all the gang in Bali. Such a lovely happy man who along with all of you made Scott, Archie and me so welcome. We will never forget this and it was a pleasure to have met you!! Shine bright up there for Mandy and the girls ❤️❤️

September 2, 2020

Andy the funniest Pom I had meet. Your genuine friendship was one to treasure to so many that knew you; thankfully
I was one of those people. Your great sense of humour and story telling was certainly a gift you had. Bali was a great holiday for us all and the memories will last forever. A true gentleman taken far to young- Love and hugs to your three rocks and loves Mandy, Taylah and Carli ❤️
May perpetual light shine upon you all
RIP Andy

September 2, 2020

Thank you Andy for all your support, care & guidance since joining the GMHBA family.

An exceptional leader and always had time for you when you needed it.

Will miss your humour and your smile.

Thoughts and prayers to the rest of the family.

September 2, 2020

Andy was such a caring and genuine person. He was an inspiring leader and I was lucky enough to work with Andy for 6 years. I'll miss his friendship and sense of humour.

Andy was an inspiring leader, someone who was always compassionate, caring and there for his staff and work colleagues....

Sincere condolences to Mandy, Taylah and Carli. This is such a big loss and I’m sending you lots of love.

September 1, 2020

Andy, I have tried to write this a few times now but have, and continue to struggle on what to say.

I have worked with you for a very long time and you were always so caring and took the time to know each and every one of the people you worked with. To say your passing is a huge loss to GMHBA is an understatement, you will be forever missed by us all.

He may not be with us anymore, our memories will last a lifetime.

My deepest condolences to your family.

September 1, 2020

Andy, your smile always lit up the Ballarat Branch when you walked in.
You always made time to chat to everyone and make sure that we were all okay. I knew that we could always have a laugh together.
You will be truly missed by all of your GMHBA friends.

My thoughts are with your family.

Rest in Peace Andy xx

September 1, 2020

Andy, my fellow Pom,

I`m so saddened to hear of your passing.

It was a pleasure to work with you, I will miss your walk arounds to say hello and to remind me how much better your football (soccer) team was to my team. Lots of laughs and discussions and a few eye rolls on my attempts at growing of an Avocado tree from a seed.

My deepest sympathy to all your family and friends near and far.

Rest in peace Andy x

August 31, 2020

Andy, I have struggled with what to say here.

I was hoping for something profound, as you deserve, but fear I will fall short.

You were taken from us far too soon and my heart is heavy to think of a world without you.

We have shared so many memories over the past 10 years, but my absolute favourite was seeing you serve up hip hop moves to Cardi B’s “I Like It” at our 2018 Christmas party. That lasting image will bring me joy in times when I miss you most.

You were such a light in my day and were there for many "jazz hands" moments both in my career and personal life. You were one of my greatest supporters and mentors. Thank you.

I will think of you often and smile.

Rest easy Andy X

I extend my deepest condolences to Mandy, Taylah and Carli. He spoke of you fondly and often.

August 31, 2020

Andy was such a kind person who treated everybody the same and always made time for everyone around him.

Throughout his battle, he still showed up with a bright smile and positive vibes.

My thoughts are with your family and friends.

Rest in peace Andy xx

August 31, 2020

Although I only knew Andy a short while, I can say it was an absolute pleasure to have spent time with him working at GMHBA. Andy was so supportive and always had time for others. My personal reflection of Andy is the many conversations and support he provided me. Andy you invested time to help me achieve my work goals and always made time to keep that 'check in' or progress update going - for that I am truly grateful.
Thank you Andy - you will never be forgotten.
To Mandy and family - my deepest condolences to you all. Sending my thoughts and prays in such a difficult time.

August 31, 2020

I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Andy. I remember being terrified of Andy when he did my solo interview when applying for a job in the call centre of GMHBA. Then being so honoured to hear from others that he recommended I be hired as he loved what he saw in me. Andy always expected us to do the best job and held us to a high standard, but his kindness, consistency and openness made us all strive to achieve our best. I can honestly say Andy was the best boss I've ever worked for. We often got angrily told to be quiet when we were getting too noisy in the call centre, but Andy made a point of walking up and down the isles saying good morning to each and every one of us. He always asked how we were and was always up for a chat in the tea room at lunch time. My respect for Andy as my boss will always remain, and I don't think anyone else could match him let alone surpass him. you will be deeply missed Andy. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

August 30, 2020

We only met Andy briefly, when we visited Oz last year for Charlotte and Andy's wedding, but he made a superb impression on us with his kindness, generosity and great sense of humour. Our thoughts are with Mandy, Taylah and Carlie especially but also with the rest of the family at this very difficult time. Sue & John.

August 30, 2020

Mandy, Taylah & Carlie, our thoughts and love is with you at this sad time.

Andy was not just a colleague but a great friend who brought a wonderful approach to life. His smile will be remembered by all who knew him. Although saddened by Andy’s passing we will both treasure memories of such a kind, warm, friendly person. Rest peacefully Mr Woolley.

August 29, 2020

Having worked with Andy for several years at GMHBA, I cannot think of a single interaction where Andy wasn't kind, respectful and genuine. Andy, you were a true gentleman and I am lucky to have known you.
To Andy's beautiful family, words have little meaning - I'm so deeply sorry for your loss, you are in my thoughts.

August 29, 2020

I am lost for words to describe what I want to say. Andy made such a difference to all that knew him. Positive, warm and interested in others. Fun to be around. Always trying to do what was right. I will miss him. We will all miss him.

August 28, 2020

I would like to say what a kind man andy was.even though he was my boss i was still able to stir him up. We shared many a joke at work!! I am laid up myself after major surgery . Andy would often text me to see how i was we would often compare notes. I.e. how much radiotherapy we have left etc. He would always wish me luck and i did the same for him. That is the ki nbd if man he was very caring. I will miss him. Thinking of you mandy.

August 28, 2020

To me Andy was a friendly, sincere, caring, funny and intelligent man. In short I really liked him.
He was a great example to people of how to be. I am so very grateful that I was lucky enough to cross paths with him.

To Andy's family my thoughts and heart is with you.

August 27, 2020

This candle will always burn for you Andy, RIP.
Mandy, Taylah and Carli, our love and prayers are with you. May you find strength and courage in each other and lean on friends when you need to.

August 27, 2020

We are all at a loss that such a beautiful man was taken so soon.

I’m going to miss our conversations. I’m going to miss your quick banter. I’m going to miss your smile. I’m going to miss our friendship. You made me a better person, and I will always be thankful.

My thoughts are with you, bud. RIP.

To Mandy, big hugs for you and your girls.

August 27, 2020

This is a letter we never expected to have to write; but things just happen that turn your life upside down, and this one is it. It was hard enough having to see him go and live life in australia; but after a while , when we got over there to see him we could see what the attraction, and fully understood his longing to live over there. His meeting with Mandy; and marrying her were his happiest days of his life, He never looked back after that, and then ,Tayler and Carli arrived, which completed hi life for him. He was a very happily married man. we are so proud of them all. HE was the nicest man and son that anyone could meet. Deepest sympathy to you Mandy, Taylah, &Carli. From MUM & DAD Woolley, ANNE& BRIAN. xxxxxxxxxxx

August 27, 2020

I have been fortunate to meet with Andy regularly throughout the past 2 years which has been a blessing. The values Andy demonstrated through his life were easy to see and feel. His deep love for Mandy and his girls was evident every time we met; they were his foundation. Andy also shared his genuine care for, and loyalty to, his extended family, colleagues, and friends. Andy loved to laugh and share his joy of life.
Andy has made a positive impact on me and all those who were fortunate to know him, he will be sadly missed and always remembered. His cheeky grin, which extended into a big smile, then a laugh, was a wonderful gift to us all. My condolences to Mandy, his girls, extended family, his many friends, and colleagues who miss him so much.

August 27, 2020

Andy was one of a kind, he always spoke to us about what we were doing, what our families were doing and spoke ever so kindly of Mandy and the girls.
We loved having you visit our branch in Portland as we knew that you cared about what we wanted. RIP Andy

August 26, 2020

Andy,

If everybody faced hardships with the same courage and positive outlook that you have shown in the face of this challenge, the world would be a better place. It’s hard to believe that your journey has come to an end, you will live on in the hearts and memories of your beautiful family and all of those who’s lives you have touched along the way.

I am grateful to have known you and for the laughs we shared, sometimes at one another’s expense, sometimes at a dad joke, sometimes replaced with an eye roll. I scrolled through our messages and had a chuckle at you cursing me for having “that bloody stupid song” stuck in your head when I plastered the Richmond theme song around the office at finals time and hashtag #lostmyfilter that you started using, almost as a disclaimer. It wasn’t all laughs, there was some work and serious stuff along the way - although you made it clear you were no good at tears. I think it went something like “I’m not very good at this stuff” followed by a box of tissues being pushed in my direction and a swift change of topic. I doubt there are many dry eyes this week Andy as we all come to terms with a world without you in it.

My heart is full of sadness when I think about the family you have left behind. Thank you Mandy, Taylah and Carli for sharing snippets of your life with Andy and giving us a space to do the same. I am deeply sorry for your loss and wish you all strength, love and hope through this hard time.

August 26, 2020

Kind. Supportive. Passionate. Polite. Friendly. People focussed. Respected. Family. His girls. Humour. Cheese. The jag. Indoor soccer. England. Words that automatically spring to mind when I think of Andy.

We shared many laughs and many memories over nine action filled years of working together, a great colleague, confidant and friend - I’m going to miss you mate. You touched so many people across our business and we are all so grateful to have known you and worked with you.

To Mandy, Taylah, Carli and family, my deepest sympathy and my thoughts are with you.

August 26, 2020

What a champion.
From the moment I met Andy I was struck by his care for the people he worked with and his love for his family and friends.
A true leader, a great friend, a caring and compassionate colleague and a good, good man.
You'll be missed mate, and when I think of you, I will smile with the memories of good times shared.
Go well.

August 26, 2020

To Mandy, Taylah, Carli and Andy’s wider family, condolences to you all on the passing of your husband, dad, son, sibling and friend.
I had the pleasure of working with Andy at both Holden and GMHBA. So many times we would talk and reflect on our time together at Holden and every time we would end up laughing about the poor people still driving up the highway. He was always there for a chat personally or professionally and valued what everyone had to say.
I’m going to miss comparing our progress in the home landscaping and just having a laugh in general.
Andy thank you for all the memories and as hard as it is for everyone you have left behind, I know that you now Rest In Peace. You are going to be greatly missed.

August 26, 2020

August 25, 2020

Andy you were such an amazing friend and I shall miss you terribly. You had such a lust for life and always got the most out of each day. Your wit and humour always brought a smile to everyone's face and there was never a dull moment when you were around.
To be part of your life has been incredible, meeting the amazing Mandy and being able see Taylah and Carli grow into the beautiful people they are today has been something I shall be eternally grateful for.
I shall cherish the many memories of all the Xmas parties, camping by the Murray and the poker nights. You won't be forgotten.

Take it easy mate.

August 25, 2020

When words are needed the most - they fail you.

It is with a very heavy heart that I add my somewhat clumsy tribute to Andy (or Andrew as I always called him).

So many memories ... pinching jubes from his desk, in-depth discussions about fantasy stories (Harry Potter to The Wizard of Oz), sharing chicken curry recipes ... oh yes and occasionally work debates; his infectious smile and great energy ... the list is endless.
My life was enriched for having known you ... you are gone too soon!

August 25, 2020

Andy, you were truly the best uncle anyone could ask for.

You have been such a big part of my life and our family’s lives and I will always hold the memories we made together close to my heart.

I remember playing with the sheep with you at your house when I was little and being the flower girl at your wedding. I will also remember the camping trips, the Christmas’s, the birthdays and all the moments in between.

You were an extraordinary person and always went out of your way to make me feel comfortable and included. I will always remember your smile and the way you were able to make me smile in return.

Andy, you will never be forgotten.

August 25, 2020

Andy gave me a huge leg up in my career, taking a chance on me as an EA and helped develop me into the professional I am today. But, as is clear by reading through the other messages, it was all that Andy was outside of 'getting the work done' that made him an exceptional person to work with and it's this that will always resonate with me.
From his determination to spend quality time with everyone in the team, to his waffling on about sports, from his daily questions about my life outside of work (always 'not much' ), to his love of 'jubes' and later his passion for 'Cole', it was Andy's character that will truly be missed.
I feel privileged that he trusted me so much and allowed me to work for so long by his side. I am still amazed that we were able to pull off the big surprise 50th for him, and now the world will be a strange place without him.
Andy, I hope you spend some time with Jimi Hendrix perfecting your licks. Rest in Peace.

August 25, 2020

So nice to see all the love for Andy and his family.

So sad to hear of his passing. He was a great person to work with and always up for a bit of banter. He will be truely missed. Thoughts are with the family.

August 25, 2020

To Mandy, Taylah and Carli

My family and My thoughts are with you in these sad times I can only imagine what you guys have been through the past few months and with the future ahead.

Andy will be sadly missed

I'm going to miss me pommy mate ,the banter we had with the footy and cricket will always be in my mind .

If we can help out with anything please let me know .

Tucks and family

August 25, 2020

To Mandy and your girls,
My condolences to you at this time. I have known Andy since we worked together when I was a trainer at Holden. We shared the same sense of humour and kept in touch for years after we went our seperate ways. Sadly I had not spoken to him for a while and am truly sad to hear of his passing.
There are many stories and these will stay with me forever.
Gary Pearce

August 25, 2020

Andy, it was with heavy heart i heard if your passing today. What i remember most is every morning instead of walking straight to get your coffee you would walk up and down every isle to say good morning, it had such a huge impact. You set the bar for all my managers after you and it was bloody high with not many reaching it.

August 25, 2020

Andy truely was one of a kind.
He brought so much to our family.
He was always so happy to see you and he would always put a smile on your face.
His sense of humour was unmatched.

As a kid he would always let me play his guitar which was a big deal. I would never let a 7 year old me touch my guitars.

He was always trying (and succeeding) in making us all laugh.
When I was around 9 years old I got a Rip-Stick skateboard for Christmas and he proceeded to do laps of the dining table outside while simultaneously barbecuing.

Growing up he was the closest thing to a father figure us three kids had and it meant a lot. He put in the extra effort for us.

He was such a huge part of our family. He really was the glue that brought us all together.

I have so many great memories I will hold onto forever.

August 25, 2020

Words cannot describe the loss of Andy Woolley. I'll miss your charm, jokes and laughter for life. You will be forever missed AW! Our thoughts are with Mandy, Taylah and Carli during this time.

"People may forget what you said, people may forgot what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel" - Maya Angelou

August 25, 2020

You are such a big part of our little family.

My sister fell in love with you and so did the rest of us. You soon became her husband, a son (in law) for my parents and an uncle for my three kids. You made me an aunty with two beautiful nieces. You called me 'Sis' and that warmed my heart. You have always been here for all of us - with all of us.

I am grateful to have a heart full of memories of time spent together. So many camping trips, Christmases and dress up party shenanigans along with every day cuppas and catch ups.

You were genuine, humble, compassionate, thoughtful, strong and ridiculously funny. You lived your life well. You loved and are loved deeply.

I love you Bro xx

August 25, 2020

To us Andy was a great son in law and friend. He introduced us to the wonderful world of camping by the Murray River, sitting around a campfire having a drink and exchanging funny stories, whilst watching him opening the lid on his ice filled esky showing us the lid operated light. We couldn't buy one anywhere.
Andy became the son we never had and we are so thankful that we have been able to share in his wonderful life with our daughter and grand daughters. We have heaps of beautiful memories that will last forever. Along with Mandy and the girls our lives will stand still for a while but eventually, will start up again.
To our beautiful daughter Mandy and grand daughters, Taylah and Carli, we will always be here to support and love you.

August 25, 2020

my friend Andy, I will miss you dearly. You had time for everyone every single day. You walked the GMHBA building every morning to touch base with every person. How they were doing was the most important thing. You got to know their lives, their families, their pets, their dreams and even their troubles. You genuinely cared and they cared back.

Your daily drop by with me was always filled with humour and laughter as we shared the latest Dad Joke, your love of cars (and the new oil leak in the jag), an indoor soccer update (usually an injury report), and stories of your beloved family and the amazing experiences you had together.

Mandy, Taylah and Carli, I hug you with my heart and my thoughts are with you. Peace and love.

Geelong Memorial Park

April 27, 2022

Hi everyone,
We have arranged a memorial site for Andy at the Geelong Memorial Park & Crematorium in Burvilles Road Armstrong Creek. The exact location is Crescent Garden - SG - Bed 2 - Position 158 (GMP-CRES-SG-2-302-158). When you drive into the Park you turn left at the roundabout and park in the car park on the right hand side. Walk across the road opposite the car park down the gravel path closest to the entrance and head to the first garden bed on the left. The girls and I felt this was the perfect spot as its so peaceful and is surrounded by native plants & birds.

Love Your Sister - Samuel Johnston

September 20, 2020

Processing...

This may take up to an hour.
Please be patient.

Error:

On 17 November 2020, Andy was admitted to hospital following his first round of chemotherapy. That same day Samuel Johnston was fundraising for Love Your Sister and was holding the event at Rocklea Farm. Our good friend Nathan Scott was singing that day and we had jumped onboard to get as many friends there as we could in light of Andy's recent diagnosis. Better still, Andy gave Nathan his Cole Clark guitar to play. That morning, Andy couldn't get out of bed and finally conceded we head into emergency at The Epworth. We thought Andy would be re-hydrated and that we would be sent on our way. We we adamant and quite vocal that we had an important event to get to that afternoon, however on Dr's advice Andy was admitted (he stayed for 10 days) and I stayed by his side. Rumour has it that it was an emotional day for all our friends and family who still went and Andy was touched by it all but so devastated that we didn't get there.

In true Nathan fashion we received this message from Samuel Johnston this morning. For those of you who don't know, Sam lost his sister Connie to cancer and has been on a mission to raise much needed funds throughout her journey and beyond. His mission, "to go to town, for two years, to build a critical mass, for personalised treatment for every new cancer patient, whatever the cancer, wherever they live". He is a a Gold Logie winning actor and Australian of the Year 2018. You can see why........

Well Andy where do I start?....
The Batchelor pad in Bembridge Crt (Nottingham) It sure was!! A wall devoted to empty beer cans stacked high, a motorbike in bits in the hallway & two crazy but loveable cats Sophie Cretin & Arnold. We had plenty of laughs along the way starting right back when we all went to see the rather rude but highly entertaining comic “Chubby Brown”. We met him afterwards at an Indian restaurant. Oh Andy you could cook a mean curry, especially those camping trips up on the Murray River. Every Boxing Day a crowd of us couldn’t wait to get set up at our usual spot for the week at “The Log” site in Echuka. Such fun!
“Bungawarra” (Anakie) Yours & Mandy’s fabulous home for countless get togethers, dress up party’s, & Carole’s 60th birthday party. Say no more!! Watching the sun go down over the Anakie Hills with a drink in hand sitting on the old railway cart or round the fire playing top row bottom row eating jelly snakes & talking bollocks! There was occasionally a new addition to the Woolley fold when Mandy had been out driving, I’m sure she’d become a lamb rustler! Re-homing lambs that had strayed a little too far, she’d pick them up & take them home! Lambert, Squinty to say the least plus more! Your mint garden was growing! Lol What a menagerie with Sophie doggo & Simba the cat. Now reunited with your devoted golden girl she’ll be by your side.
It was such a honour to be one of your bridesmaids in your wedding & what a fabulous day it was!. Taylah & Carli then came along, your beautiful girls, Ive had the privilege to watch them grow into two gorgeous young ladies.
You was a master of Nick names, every friend had one! The biggest of smiles & infectious laughter. But what stands out the most is the devotion & love for Mandy, the love for life and the eternal love for your girls!.
Gone way too early... so with heavy heart I’ll say goodbye (Ta-rah me duck)
