Andrew,
I am sure as you are watching down on us you can see all the pain. It is so very hard to except that it has year since you have gone it still seems like yesterday you where here...... You may not have been the brick that kept the family up but you where difintely the marshmallow everyone could fall on when needed. You were also the glue that kept us together. And you would always thank me for keeping the family together when it was you that kept it together. You gave us such great memories we are so lucky to have had you in our lives we always end up laughing when speaking of you. We wish over and over for another moment, night, or day to say goodbye and see your smile. You went way to soon and young you were full of life any energy. You worked so hard at your job to provide for your family. And also at home rebuilding the house from scracth any time and every dime we had. You had such pride in your work and it showed I still steer at your work inside and outside the house in total amazement you had a great gift. You where amired and loved by all, Family, Friends, & co-workers. Our future plans may be gone but will we always have our memiories of yesterday.
Love you forever & Sadly missed, Jakcie, Andrew, Matthew, Daniel, Nick, Julian, Matthew Jr and your loyal companion Jojo.......

Drew, my baby brother, it is so hard to believe that it is almost a year since you left us and you are missed so much. Sometimes I will see someone who looks like you and my heart stops for a minute and I wonder if it was all just a mistake and you are still here with us.
It still feels like a bad dream, it just can't be true, please wake me up.
Drew,you may be gone from this world physically but you will live in my
heart forever.
I love you and miss you so much. God Bless You...
Love, Mary Jane

Dear Jackie,Pauline, Mary Jane,Diane,and Claire,
I wish to express my sympathy for your loss. As Drew's cousin, I have fond memories of Uncle Andy, Pauline and the kids visiting us in Weymouth. I remember Drew as a boy being full of fun. Though I didn't know him as an adult it is clear after reading through the guest book that he grew to be a wonderful, loving son, brother, husband, father,and friend. Love, Pamela

Dear Pauline, MaryJane, Dianne, Claire,
We just learned of Drew's passing. I am very sorry for your loss of your son and brother. I read all of the entries. So many people had so many nice to say about him. He must have been a lot like his father. So many people mentioned his humor, his talents, his skill as a carpenter... I thought I was reading about my uncle and not my cousin. Of course I only knew Drew as a young boy and never as a grown man. Again, I am very sorry for your loss. May his memory be eternal.

Dear Drew,
We still miss you and always will. Although sometime as passed, (three months) it still hurts greatly to know you have gone away for awhile.
Our joy is in knowing that we will see you once again, ("you know, when the saints go marching in.") I know you will be there singing loudly, LOL.
You touched so many lives, mostly with Happiness and Love. You were not here very long, but you sure did accomplish alot in 50 years. You would be so proud of your wife and sons, your family!
The family foundation was built with Love and when the storm came it was evident in their Love for you and each other how strong that foundation is.
What a blessing to anyone who was watching, to see how they would react to such a loss.
Even though you are known as Bad Andy by many, family and friends can not say enough good things about you. I hope you knew how many people admired and loved you.
I hope your not in God's kitchen eating all His ice cream and cereal and smiling all the way through it.
If you are I know God is laughing just as we all did.
Till we meet again, may God keep you in His care. Still missing you, Love Auntie Deb

Dear Jackie, Pauline and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear about Andrew, he passed at too young of an age. Andrew was always very nice. I remember growing up across the street from him, he always had a smile on his face and was quick to say Hello. Take care of yourselves and be well.

Dear Favorite uncle, I still cannot believe that you're gone. I guess god really does have a plan for all of us. It was very sad to see your boys cry but I know that in time, with lots of love, everyone will be just fine. It is going to be very tough on all of us but I know that as long as we remember all of the good times we will all be okay. Every time I hear a song, I will always think of you and your wonderful voice. The times we spent together were amazing and I will never forget those early mornings when you would come to the door (at 6AM) with a smile on your face, eager to help. The songs you made up, everyone soon became hooked on. Every time I think of you I will always remember Your favorite saying "I love this song" and "no way, there is NO WAY that they are playing this song". No matter what time it was. You will Forever be in our hearts and we will miss you dearly. I Love you uncle Andrew

My dear brother-in-law,
We all miss you so very much. Jackie and the boys cannot believe you are gone, none of us can. I will tell you that so many people loved you and came to see you and I know you would have been so proud of Jackie, your sons and family. So many came to your wake and funeral. They played "Taps" for you and presented Jackie with the American Flag. It was really something and your very best friend Brad had everyone back to his place in your honor. I want to thank you for all your help over the years. You always showed up whenever we needed help. I will never forget you and will do my best to watch over Jackie and the boys. Love you always.
P.S. I want you to know that Julian and JoJo seem to be doing okay and everyone is taking very good care of them.

Dear Jackie and Boys, I am beside myself and both Billy and Steven are beside themselves. Billy had a pretty hard time containing himself last night because he, as everyone else, loved Drew so much and couldn't imagine losing a parent as your boys are having to do. There are no words that I can say to take the pain away from you and the boys, I only wish I could. Drew was awesome and loved life, and he will never be forgotten in my family. He was a dam good guy. But if there is anything you need, at all, please let me know. Love to you and all the kids with all my heart. I will keep in touch.

To Jackie & Family:
From the first time we met Andy 5 years ago when we moved in next door, he made us feel welcomed and we knew he was a wonderful good hearted man. I will miss hearing him sing in the morning while working outside and seeing him walking in the parking lot. He meant a lot to everyone who knew him. He will be missed greatly. If you need anything at all, please let us know, we are only a few steps away. May God be with you in this time of grief.

It is so wonderful how you & Jackie always had love & respect for each other. Some of my best memories are with Claire, Mary, Diane & Pauline & I'm so sorry that they, Jackie & the boys have to have Heavy Heart & a Loss that can never be replaced!

Dear Andrew,
I grew up with Dan and Nick since Dan and I were in the 4th grade. In all those years being friends with them I always saw you as a caring, giving, loving, father to all of your sons. There are so many memories that I could recall about you, each and every one of them clear as a bell to me this day. You were a funny man, a good man, and an honest man. You left a legacy of skilled tradesman work behind you, that will live among all those who worked with you, and your sons. I still cannot believe this has happened, but I miss you , and I will be alongside Dan and Nick for many more years to come, we all love you Andrew, Rest In Peace.

Dear Pauline, Jackie, MaryJane, Dianne, Claire and family,
I was so sorry to hear about Andrew and just felt so sorry he was so young. He was a funny kid and nice person. My funniest memory of Andrew was playing chinese jump rope with him. I hope you can always think of something funny and lean on your family when you're have a sad moment. God Bless all of you.

Oh my baby brother, Drew, I will miss you so so much. You were the best brother and the funniest person I know. You were such a good father to your kids and to Julian, and a good husband and best friend to your wife, Jackie. I will pray for you every day. I love you Drew. God Bless you.

To your family our hearts go out to all of you. I personally did not know Andy but my husband worked with him at East Coast Interiors for many years and he spoke very highly of him he will be missed by all of his co-workers and friends at East Coast. God Bless.

My condolences to Jackie, Pauline, all the boys, and John. I knew Andy since he was a little boy. God works in mysterious ways. He must have needed an excellant carpenter in heaven because that is where I know Andy is now.
