We are deeply saddened to announce the sudden passing of our dearest husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, Andrew Kephalas age 76.

Andrew was a devoted and loving husband to his wife Mandy, proud father to Nick and a loving (besotted) grandfather to his beautiful granddaughters, Nikki-Lucia and Olivia. Andrew also leaves behind his heartbroken siblings, George and Christine, nephews, nieces and a huge circle of friends, all of whom are devasted at this sudden loss.

We are raising money on behalf of Andrew Kephalas for the British Heart Foundation and we'd be so grateful for your support. The BHF has helped halve the number of people dying from heart and circulatory disease in the UK but sadly every day hundreds of people lose their lives. It's only thanks to support from people like us that the BHF can create new treatments and discover new cures. £24 could pay for two hours of research by an early career scientist, but every pound helps so please give what you can to help me hit our target. Thank you.
