To aunt frances and family,
We will all miss uncle Andre greatly, but we'll never forget all the good times,the parties, the hunting and fishing. He was the first one to ever take me trap shooting back a long time ago.

My deepest sympathy to Franie, Donna, Ricky. Pam, Laurie & Darlene. He will be missed by many. I will always have fond memories of "Cousin Frenchie". I can recall camping with him when I was a child and he was always there to fix someone's car.
Love, Laurie (Cote) Livingston
