Not sure what to say?

I was so sad to hear of Andy's passing. I got to know him when I worked at Alaskaland fro 1972 to 1980. He was a big help with getting the tracks re-aligned for the train! Later, after we moved back to Fairbanks from Hawaii I got to renew our friendship at Ice Alaska. Always a smile and a kind work. Andy, you will be missed, but I know the angles have greeted you with open arms. Rest in Peace my friend.

One of the best people I have ever met. Andy was always a bright spot in my day when ever we met. We all have lost a good friend. Rest in Peace my friend.

It certainly pains the family to see our loved ones fall asleep in death. Our prayers are with the family.
