Andy, you were in my thoughts yesterday, as I spoke with another classmate about you. May you rest well and may God continune to spread his love to your family.

November 10,2009 I am still trying to wrap my mind around the thought that
Andy is actually gone. There is a hole in my heart. And I know my brother and sisterinlaw and Andy's siblings, etc. are suffering. We believe he is in a better place and I look forward to seeing him again. As for the rest of us, we must focus on getting together and getting to know each other. I love you all.

To all Rupfs,
Whether your name started off as such or no longer remains such:
The first time I remember meeting Andy & Mrs. Rupf (Lucy) at Hogan was at the Freshman Social ‘83. He was in the library where Mrs. Rupf was in charge of the board games. We played a game of Monopoly &, Andy was beating me soundly. I rolled a seven &, so I said,
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
All God’s children go to Heaven.
When we get there, we will yell.
Andy Rupf can go to Hell.
To this day I’m not sure why Mrs. Rupf didn’t give me a detention. Anyway, after Andy further humiliated me in that same game, I rolled another seven so; I repeated my chant &, Andy said, “At my house, the first time, a joke is funny, the second time it’s not & the third time you spend the night outside.” To which Mrs. Rupf added, “Andy has spent many nights in the yard.” From that night until we were in college, we were thick as thieves at school & sometimes afterschool too.
One year later, Andy presented me with a hand made cardboard Certificate acknowledging that I had survived one year of friendship with him & was now his best friend. I still have that certificate in a box of accumulated mementos & other cherished items.
Your family was, & remains, special to me,

Dear Diana,
While Andy only worked with the BeyondNow group a short while, it was easy to see what a great person he was... wonderful sense of humor. I'm so happy he found you to love. God bless you and your family.

The ordinary thing at this time is to offer condolences and sympathy. I would rather express my admiration for a good person who retained his sense of humor to the very end. Please know that, come next summer, I will be lighting fireworks and thinking of Andy.
