Deepest sympathy to the White family. I only knew Andrew briefly and came to respect him and his shared knowledge that he passed on to our team here in Reading, Pa. Andrew was always accomodating with our needs and answered all of our questions with a cheery disposition. He will be missed by the Reading team.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the White family. Andrew will be missed by all of us tremendously. He often referred to us as the " A " team here at work. We truly enjoyed working with him and also being around him outside of work. Our shift feels it was a great honor to have known him as a friend and colleague.

I send condolences to all of Andrew's family and friends. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I remember him first as an energetic little redhead, always on the go in sports or whatever adventure presented itself. When I last saw him, I was struck by the handsome, confident young man he had grown into. I know his loss will be deeply felt by many.

We are so saddened to learn of Andrew's passing. We have so many fond memories of him from birth through college, including his being a top student in my advanced writing class at RU. He was always special to us with his quick wit, infectious smile, athletic skills, and intelligence. Our sincerest condolences to all his family.

My first memories of Andrew were when I was coaching and playing basketball at the old Rec Hall in Radford. He was just a little kid then, probably 7-8 years old, and was tough as a pine knot, even then. I hadn't seen Andrew in many years, but from all the loving comments here, I know he turned out to be quite a man. My prayers are with his family.

Julie, Steve, Jim. Elaine & Stephen
and your entire family,

Always sad to loose one of the good guys on earth, especially so young as Andrew.

I recall a book we read from the Police Academy,
"Rocks in the Road" summary of the unexplained, unexpected situations we encounter in life.
Conclusion, as Andrew said, "Let the show go on"

You will heal, tomorrow is a new day.

Julie, Charlie, Peggy, Henry,
It's been a long time since I first met Andrew back in 1979 at Hodge field in Radford, I sincerely wish I could have spent more time with him in the past few years. I remember falling to the floor when I talked to him in Texas right after his initial diagnosis. Andrew was my oldest friend and my favorite pickin buddy. His pain now belongs to everyone who knew and loved him.

To the White Family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have worked with Andrew for the last five years. His professional approach, in serving his customers and fellow workers was highly valued by all of us. But more personally, it was always a pleasure to share a story and a laugh with Andrew. RIP Andrew, I will cherish my memories of you.

It is still unimaginable to me that Andrew is no longer with us. His courage and positive attitude throughout the years I have known him was inspiriing. He kept us all in laughter and found ways to find humor in things and situations when we thought it was not possible. He lived his life with intensity and soaked up each minute to its fullest potential. I have so many memories that will never be forgotten and in that way he will never be forgotten. We all were blessed having known Andrew. I am so sorry for your loss and hope that you find comfort in your happy memories and that more peace and strength will come to you with each day. I hope the special things about Andrew will live on inside your hearts forever. With deepest sympathy.
