Andy used to mow my family's lawn when I was a young child. When I was off from school he'd let me "help" and always bought me an ice cream when the truck came by. He taught me lessons about kindness and grace. My sympathy to his family. My gratitude for having him as one of my childhood influences and memories.

Dear Uncle Andy,
You will be greatly missed by so many. I will also miss your voice and your accent. May God keep you in his care forever more. Love, Lori
