Andy Rodker - 2023

Danke für diesen ergreifenden Nachruf…

Du fehlst, Andy…mögest Du dort, wo Du jetzt bist,
die schönsten Berge erwandern, an den schönsten Klippen
stehen und im Garten Deiner Mutter die schönsten Blumen finden…
R.I.P. Andy…ein Teil von Dir bleibt bei uns ❤️

We have lost one of the great ‘voices’ of Ipernity.
Andy introduced many people to others here.
We will all miss him.
RIP Andy.

Dear Andy, your beautiful pictures will not be forgotten and neither will your kindness and cheerfulness.
I will always remember your showing me the lighthouse on the Cornish coast which inspired Virginia Woolf and our talks, when in Panoramio and then here on IP.
May you keep on enjoying long walks and great views wherever you are. We will keep on following you in our memory.
R.I.P. Andy.

No words.

No words to say how much I will miss our long chats and the planned hikes we will not perform.
Forever in my heart my great friend, rest in peace …

Andy, du fehlst! Mögest du in Frieden ruhen.

Meine Anteilnahme an die Familie und Freunde.

Mes condoléances les plus sincères à toute sa famille et à tous ses proches. Il fut un grand ami qui nous faisait partager les beaux paysages et les magnifiques Sierras chargées de granite. Repose en paix et que Dieu vous bénisse.

Granite was his passion and in particular deepest Cornwall and Madrid walking the hills and mountains. The Cornish Coast was also a magnet to him and his daily offerings shared his world with us. I first discovered Andy on Panoramio a long time ago.

He had just received delivery of a brand new Camera Phone as mentioned in his last post that he hadn't the time to try it out yet.

So he will be likely to be walking with his new camera, taking pictures of granite trails near to his final resting place.

Farewell Andy

Werde ihn vermissen,
mein Beileid allen
Angehörigen und Freunden.

Lieber Andy,du hast immer gerne die Berge und die Natur aufgesucht und diese Liebe dazu kam in deinen Aufnahmen immer sehr schön rüber,du wirst weiter hier unter uns sein und ich bin mir sicher,du wirst dir da oben einen schönen Platz aussuchen,um das auch weiterhin zu Genießen,du hast jetzt deinen Frieden gefunden lieber Andy :))

Auch mein aufrichtiges Beileid allen Angehörigen

Et recordarem, Andy!

Algunos dicen que se van los mejores. Nos vamos todos, mejores y peores; pero, en el recuerdo de los amigos que se dejan, queda anclado todo lo bueno de los mejores. Con esto quiero expresar porque, entre la familia de Ipernity, dejas tantos amigos que te recordarán siempre, porque fuiste un hombre abierto, amable y sincero. Si me lo permites, me honraría considerarme uno entre ellos. Sencillamente te apreciaba y lo digo con el convencimiento pleno de decir lo que pienso. Mis condolencias a tu familia y amistadas de dentro y de fuera de Ipernity.
RIP Andy Rodker.

J'ai "rencontré" Andy sur le site Panoramio, et j'étais contente de le retrouver ensuite sur Ipernity. J'ai adoré ses photos des Cornouailles, et souvent nous avons constaté des similitudes entre le Cornwall et la Bretagne.
C'est une grande perte, mais il restera inoubliable parmi nous. Mes sincères condoléances à sa famille. Repose en Paix, Andy.

Rest in Peace Andy. My condolences to your family and friends

My deepest condolences to all who love Andy. He was a large part of this community and a great, caring person who loved to share the beautiful scenic pictures of his home country Spain and Cornwall. He will be greatly missed and forever in our prayers and memories. Enjoy eternity Andy even if it breaks our hearts here.

RIP

My condolences to family and friends, RIP Andy.

It was a sad shock to hear that Andy had left us. His lovely photos in Spain and in Cornwall were always a joy to see! My heart goes out to his family. Please feel our arms around you even if it cannot be done in person. We will all miss him.

Ich kann es noch immer nicht fassen, dass Andy uns verlassen hat.
Ich lernte ihn kennen, als er Panoramio beitrat und - kurz nach seinem Umzug von Cornwall nach Madrid - täglich viele Bilder postete, vor allem um Kontakt mit seinen Freunden in England zu halten, die er in seiner neuen Heimat vermisste. Das ist nun über ein Dutzend Jahre her.
Als Panoramio eingestellt wurde, freute ich mich, dass er sich auch für Ipernity entschied und die Freundschaft mit ihm weiterhin Bestand hatte.
Dann der Schock über seinen schweren Coronaverlauf und die Freude, dass er die Torturen der Monate dauernden Behandlung überstanden hatte und in sein schönes Heim außerhalb von Madrid zurückkehren konnte.
Und nun diese Schocknachricht...
Andy, ich werde dich vermissen. Meine herzliche Anteilnahme gilt auch allen, die dir nahe stehen und um dich trauern!

Farewell, Andy, you'll be missed. My condolences to his family and friends.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who'll think of Andy whenever I see granite..

I didn't know you in real life Andy, but through our interactions on Ipernity I'd come to think of your as a real friend. I would loved to have met you and maybe walked with you. You are sadly missed. RIP my friend.

Andy je ne te connaissais pas -, mais tu faisais partie de la grande famille qu'est Ipernity et j'aimais regarder tes photos qui me faisaient rêver !
Adieu l'ami mais tu resteras toujours dans un coin de notre tête cela c'est certain
Toutes mes sincères condoléances à ta famille et à tous tes proches !

Adieu Andy tu resteras dans nos coeur tout comme les autres qui sont partis
sincères condoléances à la famille ♀♀♀

RiP Andy, my condolences go to his friends and his family

I miss You Andy!

Rest in peace,.. Andy'..
.... it is heartwarming that we can recall his uploads to 'iper' and the sights,. feelings and sounds that 'he' will have experienced via his photo's,..
covering ,. October 2016 - to July 2023
Good wishes and condolences to his friends and family.

RIP Andy, we will miss you

"make the world a better place", that's our common duty, and i always had the feeling that Andy took over his part of it. And reading those many heartful greetings here i am totally sure about that. So i give my contribution via nightshot www.ipernity.com/doc/farbformfreude/52079746

That's really sad news. My condolences to Andy's family and friends.
R.I.P. Andy!

The best wine I ever drank!Andy, avec cette photo j'avais découvert quel grand connaisseur tu étais.C'est avec beaucoup de plaisir que j'avais partagé ce souvenir familial avec toi. Habituellement, j'ouvre une bouteille de vin tout les Dimanches. La prochaine, ce ne sera probablement pas un "Haut Brion" mais je l'ouvrirais en pensant à toi.Tu la goutera avec moi et je sais que là où tu es désormais tu ne manquera pas de me donner ton avis.A bientôt Andy.

You kept us on our toes, Old Chap! Your trips back and forth between the Sierra and Cornwall, your teacher anecdotes, your hikes, discoveries and misadventures in wild and often grandiose environments - especially under your lens, have brought us hot weather and sea breezes, and some great emotions.
And all this from Panoramio, where I had the pleasure of making your acquaintance.
I imagine they won't be bored with you up there!
Your eternal smile and generous irony will live long in my memory.
Have a good rest, dear friend.

It truly is a loss that as you see above will be a deep one as it should be for this very big "Family " when we lose someone. It sad to think all the comment and photos have come to an end BUT it is truly nice seeing and hearing from you for all those years. You will be Missed all the very best to the family at the loss. Rest in peace I do hope a camera went with you. You will be missed.

A heartfelt thanks to all who have contributed so movingly to this lovely tribute to my brother. In some ways you have opened my eyes to what was clearly a big part of Andrew's life (I never did call him Andy!).
So heartwarming to read all of your kind and warm words. Thank you all for being in his life, and in such an obviously big way - it means such a lot. I look forward to sharing many of your tributes with our parents in Cornwall as soon as I can.
Keep on snapping!!
David

Hello, David, nice to meet you. As you see, Andy was greatly beloved. Warm greetings to you and your family from an American friend of his. I hope you all find some comfort in knowing he was so highly regarded in this big community.

Thanks, Diane. It has been so heartwarming reading these tributes. I imagine we will return to them often.
I'm glad he continued to hold out for 'proper' English but it seems you had fun trying to persuade him otherwise!
All the best to you, and to all Andrew's friends in (on?) Ipernity.

David

Oh, our dear Andy...I am heartbroken... How I cherish the "good old days" when we were both healthy as horses and had scathingly funny exchanges about the differences between British and American English.

Andy was, of course, the expert in the British version and I only a moderately-educated user of the American one. He would sometimes (begrudgingly!) give in to Noah Webster's sensible American spelling of English words such as analize, color, maneuver, labor, etc. We never resolved our argument over aluminum vs. aluminium. I gave in to British grammar, but found it impossible to work it into my American conversations. Oh, Andy, I will always miss you and those funny, lengthy conversations.

Thanks so much for all of the lessons about granite in Spain and tin mining in Cornwall, too.

Well, Andy, I'll eventually bump into you flying around up there. In the meantime, make sure everyone is speaking proper English. British, with American spelling.

Dear Diane, I love your tribute to Andy. It made me smile!
I'm still smiling, but with tear in my eye.

Je suis très triste d'apprendre le décès d'Andy , un ami qui nous quitte !
Sincères condoléances à toute sa famille .

Andy un ami qui me quitte, je viens de l'apprendre..
grand est mon désarroi, et ma tristesse,
dans mon coeur il ne sera jamais oublié, ce vigneron
du Bordelais qu'il fut une fois...
toute mes condoléances à sa famille et en particulier à son frère David que je découvre Ici

Je vous remercie. c'est très gentil.
David

Ich habe von Andy hier in IP erfahren, als er schwer an Corona erkrankt war und eine breite Welle des Mitgefühls hier zu erleben war. Ich habe mit Ihm gehofft und täglich nachgeschaut ob es ihm besser geht, Isabel hatte uns damals auf dem Laufenden gehalten. Ich habe mich sehr gefreut dass er wieder genesen war und langsam in sein altes Leben zurück kehren konnte. Wir haben über Granit gefachsimpelt und ich habe seine wunderbaren Landschaftsbilder genossen. Ruhe nun in Frieden Andy! Mein herzlichstes Beileid seiner Familie und seinen Freunden.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures,I liked them very much. We can remeber you by that. R.I.P. and my condoleances for those who will miss you the most

Andy's portrait at the top of this group: a powerful image.
For as long as I have been on "photo-sharing" sites (the good ones are "friendship-sharing" sites too), Andy had been there to talk to: such a strong personality ... back in Panoramio, even schooling me about the intricacies of continental drift, that the Norumbega granite in my Downeast Maine was really Cornish granite. And so many conversations since. Sadly, missing him.

Oh Andy, I do miss you.
Thank you for the imput you gave me. RIP.

Sadly missed, always will be, may you rest in peace Andy
and condolences to your family and friends both in the UK
and Spain.

RIP old friend, such a sad loss. I might not get on hear as often lately, but in the years gone by I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Andy's photos and reading his comments. Thoughts and condolences to his family and friends.

Such a shock to hear about this sad news.
Warm and good memories I have of our correspondence during the time of Panoramio and Ipernity, later during the time of disease. Dear Andrew, rest in peace dear friend.

Capisco solo ora che Andy non c'è più. Ci eravamo "conosciuti" su Panoramio e il nostro ultimo viaggio in Cornovaglia era stato ispirato proprio dalle sue fotografie; in primavera avevamo scambiato alcune sensazioni proprio al riguardo di questa meta che era l'altra sua casa. Grazie per tutte le nostre molte conversazioni. Buon viaggio, Andy, ovunque tu sia.

I realize only now that Andy is gone. We had "met" each other on Panoramio and our last trip to Cornwall had been inspired by his photographs; last spring we had exchanged some feelings about this destination which was his other home. Thank you, Andy, for all our many conversations and be still happy, wherever you are.

I just read the very sad news. Rest in peace, Andy. You will be missed.

I remember me his friendliness and words of praise ,
Ronald

Happy New Year to all Andy’s IP friends.
I, and the rest of the family, continue to be so touched by all the wonderful tributes posted here. They have meant an enormous amount to our parents in Cornwall, who are still devastated by his passing.
I hope 2024 brings health and happiness to you and yours.
David

I still miss our Andy and even forget he is gone. What an intelligent, funny teacher, explorer and staunch granite-lover he was! I considered him a "real friend," not just an "internet friend." Much love and blessings from the USA to the Rodker family.
