We just heard the news, how very sad. My husband and I hired Andy to do a roof for us. We found him to be VERY honest, and willing to help with projects that would have been extra to another contractor. We talked a bit while he worked, and he shared a lot with me. He was a very good contractor and it is sad to hear he is no longer here. God Bless him and all of those who will miss him.

Andy was my first cousin, and I wish he lived closer to my family and I. When we'd go up to Maine to visit Yaya and Papou, Andy would almost always come to say hi. Each time we'd leave my family would say "Gee, he's such a nice kid". We all spent a day with him at Christmas time, and when he left, we all said the same thing "Wow, he is a great kid, so grounded and down to earth". We will miss him
