gaz973 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Not many people here may remember Andrew Arntfield even by his board name, drewincanada. It was quite a few years ago when we were both regulars here and got to know each other due to us both being Avengers fans and both of us were jokingly competing in building up slabbed Avengers collections. Anyway, we got to be friends and got to meet up some years ago when he visited the UK, you couldn’t hope to meet a nicer guy. Having both drifted away from the CGC boards, we managed to keep in touch a bit through FB over the years and so I heard about his heart attack last week which he seemed to be recovering from and I wished him a speedy recovery. Sadly, I’m gutted to say that I’ve just heard that he has passed away. As I said, he hasn’t been on the boards for some time but I just wanted to post about his passing for those who remember him. Rest in peace, mate. KirbyJack, greggy, stippy52 and 53 others 1 3 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I met him when he visited the UK sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
