I was very sad, along with a great many other people, to learn of Andrew Nightingale's passing in early June. He had been diganosed with that dreaded desease some time back, and although he fought it, it eventually overtook him.
Andrew in his life was a much respected Head of Estates Management at the University of Essex from 1969 when the Uinversity had just 4,000 students. He retired from that post in 2012 having overseen a huge expansion of the Uinversity estate iduring that period. He was rightly proud of what he and his team achieved in that time.
I got to know and repect Andrew when we created the Wivenhoe & District Sporting Facilities Trust and he became my Deputy Chairman after Geoff Langsdon stepped down. Andrew was a straightforward person, a clear thinker and a hard worker. He was always good fun, had an easy laugh and was a great team player. He willl be sorely missed by all who knew him.
His funeral is in St Mary's Church on Monday 4th July at 1.30pm.
