Sad news met Andy and his daughter a good few times on our travels through the leagues and always enjoyed his posts on here.
Sincere condolences to family and friends

Hi firstly thanks for liking my post,on another sad loss to the Rangers family,I sadly lost my brother Stephen on the 9th March,we were both Rangers followers since our dad Vinnie took us both when were very young,I was 8in 1960when I first saw the famous eleven and Ibrox,I was totally overwhelmed by the messages and support on here from many bears,when I posted of my brothers parting,but in between this new loss ,I read of your anguish senoracuellar, honestly I fell apart,I could not even see my screen,so it gives me the opportunity to say sorry for your sad loss,I know and you know no words how much they are meant in kindnesses and heartfelt sympathy can overcome that hollow feeling of emptiness we feel when losing someone we love,so I'm putting my arms around from here in Dumfries and giving you the biggest hug I can xx hope none of my words offend you or hurt you in anyway yours aye CarlosJust when I thought my heart couldn't break anymore, I read this today. Andy is one of the posters I respect most on here.
When I was struggling @okeydokey505 sent me words of kindness, strength, of never stop fighting and loving. I knew he wasn't well. I think he messaged from hospital at one point, but I never thought I would be reading this. He is a real Rangers man. True of heart and strong in spirit.
If anyone is in contact with his family please send them my love. Even in the midst of his own pain he took time to hold me up.
Rest well, Andy. I will never forget your kindness. X
A popular poster on this site, Okeydokey505 - Andy Strawhorn from Kilmarnock - lost his battle with cancer and passed away on Wednesday.
A lifelong bluenose and season ticket holder in the Sandy Jardine Rear, he played with the Rangers Boys Club in the early 70's. Andy was a regular in the Bellahouston Bowling Club prior to the games. The 505 in his username was a reference to his masonic lodge. The mark of the man can be seen in his last few posts when he was offering his thoughts and sympathy to SenoraCuellar even as his own life was ebbing away. Andy was just 60 years old and leaves a wife and two daughters. His funeral service is next Friday at 10.45am in St Andrew's & St Marnock's Parish Church and then on to Riccarton Cemetry.
Rest easy Andy, a special glass will be raised in your memory when we get our title back.
