My sincere condolences to Andy's family. I knew him when he was in Santa Rosa Fire Dept. I was surprised that he quit such a great job to go to school. He turned out to be a fire department superstar.

Theresa,
What a terrible loss. I just looked at some pictures of us taken at Christmas in 2002 in our house on De La Cruz Drive, and we were so happy. But, I believe that the final chapter has not been written and we will enjoy his company again.

Andy passing was such a surprise. I remember him at the Jr. Husky football field as a total go getter. He was always giving my daughter and myself a bad time at the snack bar. His infectious smile was always somewhere to be found. He did such a wonderful job emceeing the crab feed last year and he will be greatly missed. Please take comfort that he is at peace and please treasure your memories. The Jr. Husky family has lost a true member.
