Babycat Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 QUOTE (Unattractive Truth @ Jan 26 2012, 08:07 PM) What a sad day. RIP Andrew. I won a photo signed by him on another Rush website years ago. It was a portrait of Geddy Lee from My Favorite Headache. Does anyone know how old he was??? The Toronto Star stated he was in his mid 40s.
OnePost Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 When I least expected it Andrew would call me. Once he went on about how Neil was going to kill him. I was shocked why would Neil want to kill him. What did he do? He then went on to tell me he was in Neil's new car and they were speeding though the desert at a million miles an hour. I believe that's when he shot the portrait of Neil driving the BMW. The last time I spoke with Andrew he was excited about the release of his book "Grace: Africa In Photographs" and raising money to benefit the children of Kenya and Tanzania. This cause meant the world to him. I miss my friend

the masked drummer Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 R.I.P. Andrew... Horrible news, just horrible...
Syrinx Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I was shocked and very sad to hear this. I purchased a fair bit of memorabilia from him over the years and every penny went to one of his charities. He was a real nice guy and very decent and honourable in his dealings. RIP.
The Killer Rabbit Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 As one who loves photography, I know Andrew was living the dream. Im sure he had the best of time shooting the band. I dont know if he was there each show, but I remember when I had 3rd row, I told my mom that is what I WANT to do! Hes living one of my dreams! RIP Andrew and condolances to his family and friends. TKR
Chicken hawk Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 So Young...So talented. He'll be missed by many. God Bless you Andrew!
GeddyLeeFender Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Oh no! R.I.P. Andrew I always adored his work

LeaveMyThingAlone Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Age 47 is ridiculously young for this to happen. Just awful... I wonder if this is the reason the band is moving the tour to September. If that's the case, he must have died a couple week ago, because that news was rumored back then..,? RIP Mr. McNaughtan...such a sad time for the Rush family

eshine Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Man, he was a mere five years older then me. Makes you really count your blessings.

callmejim Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 2 years younger than me. Time to give myself a kick in the pants. Admired the guys photography a lot. A sad loss.

Phantom Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 It's been bothering me all day. From what I've seen and read, he seemed like a true gentleman. It's stunning to think that he's passed from what I imagine must have been a massive heart attack. And to read that he passed while on a shoot...I shudder at the thought of how terrible it must have been for those who were there. Rest in Peace Andrew.
