Andrew Woods

Deepest sympathy to Sarah and the Woods family on your Dads passing. May he rest in peace

To Sarah, Siobhan, Cormac & Cian,
Deepest condolences on the passing of your beautiful Dad Andrew. Like so many others I have many fond memories of your Dad whether he was gardening, in his workshop, cooking or having a chat. He always made you feel so welcome with that great smile of his. So talented and lived life to the full. You are so lucky to have so many precious memories to cherish. The service was beautiful.
Annette, Bryan & Family

Our deepest sympathies to the whole family especially Sarah, Siobhan, Cormac, and Cian as you grieve the loss of your father. I remember Andrew with a smile as I think fondly of tours around his spectacular garden and through his impressive workshop. I remember him busy in the kitchen making beautiful meals, sitting around the table having great conversations enjoying wine and good food, and being an amazing host with his heartwarming and welcoming smile. I think of Ann trying to buy Andrew's woodworking pieces (continually upping the offers) to keep them in the family and Andrew objecting in an attempt to have pieces available for his show for others to buy. The memory of their banter back and forth still makes me laugh. l loved going to visit Ann and Andrew on our trips to Ireland. I am blessed to have his beautiful bowls displayed in my home in Canada - his artwork travelled far and wide. He was so creative and talented. He was a special man and will be dearly missed. With much love, Mary, Veronica, Whitney, and Gordon

I had the great pleasure and privilege of providing care to Andrew on a number of occasions. He and I had some great chats about old times as we are both from Sandyford originally. I particularly enjoyed his anecdotes about McGrath horses, with whom I would have had less profitable encounters than Andrew.
My sympathies to his siblings who may also remember me, Fiachra, and the extended family.

I was very sorry to hear of Andrews passing. I enjoyed many an evenings company with Ann and Andrew in the 1980s. A very special man.

So sad to hear the news of your dad's passing Sarah. Thinking. Of you all concepta

'Very saddened to get news of the death of Andrew, a neighbour of many years, outstanding engineer, craftsman and artist, a person of great humanity. So sorry too to learn of the passing of his wife Ann and son Cathal. Ann and my late wife Bríd, both teachers, were special friends in former years. May they rest in peace.

I remember meeting Sarah's dad Andy when he visited Cali, Colombia many years ago. I shared an evening with him and my parents at our home. He was a sweet and fun gentleman we always remembered fondly from then on.
It was sad to learn just a few weeks ago his health was not good. As the blessing says, until we meet again, may God hold him in the palm of His hand. May he rest in peace and may our Lord give comfort to Sarah, my dear friend, and to all of his family and friends.

It was sad news to hear of the death of your dearest Dad ,Siobháin Sarah Cormac and Cian . He is a Man who lives on in many peoples memories ; Fear flaithiúil séimh ab ea é ,bhí féith na fáilteachta aige ina theach álainn a thóg sé le Anne .His creative gifts were many and his innate intelligence was obvious when in conversation with him . I’m sure he was much loved by his grandchildren as he spoke with pride about all of his family . Go raibh leaba I measc na Naomh aige agus é imithe ar a thuras deireanach ar shlī na Fīrinne chun bheith in éineacht Lena bhean Anne .agus a mhac Cathal . Tóg sos Andrew mar tá do rás rite .

Dear Síobhán, Cormac, Sarah and Cian, please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your Dad. Am remembering with great fondness the happy home your parents built with you all in Woodtown. A home filled with love and laughter, finished crosswords, piles of copybooks, Countdown on the telly, of good wine and whiskey - opened or just about to be, your Dad lost in the workshop or greenhouse, your Mom calling him to come in, loud music and legendary Saturday morning fry-ups and banter. Thinking of you and your loved ones at this sad time.

To Sarah, Siobhan, Cormac, Cian and family. Please accept our condolences on Andrew's passing. Getting to know Andrew over the years, his knowledge was incredible. He was a true Oracle, a great storyteller and a wonderful gentleman. Our children's memories growing up were of Easter Egg Hunts, playing tennis and exercising a black rabbit in that beautiful garden. For adults, the opened bottle of wine and hospitality enjoyed at the dining room table. We were blessed to be your neighbours. Rest in peace, Andrew.

Dear Cian, Siobhán, Cormac and Sarah, and all of the Woods family,

sending you all my deepest condolence on the loss of your beloved Dad, Brother and Grandfather. I loved your Dad and Mother very much. They were so kind and generous to all who crossed their path and they were incredibly good to me. I learned so much from your Dad and was in awe of all his talents from his woodwork, to his gardening and the many delicious meals we all enjoyed from the foods grown right there in Woodtown Way. May the memories live deep in our hearts and may your Dad be enjoying all the wonders of the garden on the other side reunited with all his loved ones who were there to greet him.
All my love and gratitude to have known and be in the company of such a great man and family,
