So sorry for your loss.Always liked Andy,R.I.P. buddy.
To Jared and Roxanne…my sympathy to you both on the loss of Andy. It’s a difficult thing to accept and please know that you and the rest of his loved ones will be in my prayers. God Bless.
I really enjoyed connecting with Andy at the class reunion last year. I’m so sorry to hear of his passing, and hope his family and friends much comfort and peace.
I hope to be included in Andy’s extended family. Saw him practically every day. Andy was always there to help me out with some solution to my various property problems! He would always stop by when our son William was home on leave from the Navy. Andy was a special friend to our Beagle, Harry. And the youngest friend to my Dad, Hank, age 86. He is loved & will be missed so very much. May God grant peace & serenity. Always, Kate Davis Bair

So saddened to hear of Andy’s passing. He was always friendly and smiling no matter what he was dealing with at the time. He was a steward of the land, telling about his landscaping projects, mowing or tilling the soil. I will miss our visits and his friendly face. My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time. God Bless.
Sharon, a special condolence to you and your family at the loss of your brother, Andy.
