Thank you God for putting a man such as Andy Poulos in my life. I've known andy since a 7 year old boy ..i am 57 now and can say looking back through the years andy the best that life has. He showed me only the tenderhearted love of God. He was a protector of me from evil a man that showed me right a man that showed me Jesus was Greek. I love this man more than sunrises and sunsets more than all the rainbow trout in the Sierra more than all the ski-slopes of tahoe..I love him more than the Charadees around the campfire...I love him more than all the irish coffee in san francisco...I love him more than the redwoods of soquel i love him more than the red tailed Hawk of Bates creek. My hero....he a real man his kindness like an Oak tree. An honor and special priveledge God gave me to put ANDY in my life.......
