Not sure what to say?





Andy was a good friend to me over the last 30 + years. We fished together, speared Eels, and had some good times.
Every spring I would look forward to seeing Andy come back to Snug Harbor. I would always wave and say hello as I passed by his dock. Sad to loose a good friend but glad that he was able to enjoy his passion to the end.
I'll still wave to you Andy when I go by the dock. May you rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear of Andys passing. I did not find out until Sunday the 23rd, or, I would have been there. Deepest condolences from my dad ( Jerry) who fished with Andy and myself.

Soooo sad! He was a real sweetheart. When I was in Rhodie with Uncle George, he brought us fish and we got to have a fish fry! It was really nice! I'll miss him.
