We learned of Andy’s passing with great sadness. So many people have paid testament to his love of Tramore and his generosity in sharing his knowledge. Indeed this was his hallmark. My parents and my brother, Tony, greatly enjoyed chatting with him during his visits to our shop on the Terrace. A good man has left us and has left us a great legacy in his books. Condolences to Mrs Taylor and Pat.

Sincere condolences to all the Taylor family.
Only a few days ago I picked up my copy, No. 497 of 500 printed "Tramore of Long Ago", my Dad, Frank bought for me, which I treasure.
Andy's books were a inspiration to our mother in the last few months of her life, for which we will always be grateful.

It is very sad to hear of the death of Andy. Deepest sympathy to Kathleen, Pat and all the extended family. Andy was an extraordinary talented and generous person. Memories go back to Post Office Lane when his mother made balls out of socks so we could play football. Andy always shared his wisdom with us about life and the films and the cinema. He worked for years in the Rex Cinema. He also played a role in the development of the GAA Club in Tramore. Andy also shared his great work and knowledge of the sporting and social history of Tramore through his brilliant books, which he wrote. Tramore has much to be grateful for this tremendous and humble person. May Andy now rest in peace.
