My deepest sorrows for all that loved Woogie as I did. He was one of the most loving, caring and self sacrificing men I have ever known. May God bless him and welcome him home.

Mr. Andy Woogie was like the father to all that worked around him. He was one of my greatest hero's in my life he gave so much of himself even on the days he was sick. He gave me advice and always supported anyone who was willing to try something new. He gave me tools that have made me the man I grew in to being. He was truly an angel on the ground. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him. He touched everyone and never met a stranger he was always trying to help everyone. I can say Thank You Mr. Andy I will miss your guidance and friendship.
He accomplished life; with challenges every day and still had a very outgoing personality. He was truly a hero to me in my eyes.
You will be in my heart forever.
