While not a Kearsney Old Boy himself, Andrew is remembered and honoured as a true Kearsney gentleman, whose service to and passion for the College continued well after his sons, James and Oliver, matriculated from Kearsney in 2017 and 2019 respectively. Andrew was a successful and respected businessman, and Kearsney benefited greatly from his wisdom, business acumen and strategic vision during his ten years of selfless service on the Kearsney Board and Finance Committee. First and foremost, Andrew was a loving and devoted father and husband. Our deepest condolences go to Amanda, James and Oliver and the extended Kenny family. He will be sorely missed.
