Andy was a delightful friend. He had a wonderful dry humor and lighthearted demeanor that made all of our times together enjoyable. We could talk about anything and have a great time. Of course, he was gracious enough to laugh at my jokes. I will miss him.
I was humbled by his courage during the last year. He seemed to always cover his pain and distress with humor. Besides the fun memories, his example of courage and grace is a great gift to me.
Trish, Eamon, and Joel, I am so sorry for your loss of Andy. He was an intelligent and delightful man. You boys should be very proud that Andy was your father. You couldn't have had a better one.
God bless.

Dear Trish, Joel and Eamon,
I know this is a difficult time for all of you and it will take time to ease the pain of his passing. I was told that we all have a bucket of tears that must be shed to ease that pain. I know you have many friends and family to be with you to support each other during this time. All my thoughts and prayers are with you as well.
Much Love to you all.

Dear Trish, Joel and Eamon,
Andy was a great engineer, a patient listener, and a good friend. A man of openness and honesty, he found the funny side in almost every situation, and his calm insights were a gift to all who worked with him. I miss him.

Trish, Eamon & Joel -
I have many fond memories of Andy. Sitting with all of you at many dinner events at St. Dunstan's, and chasing down my son Gordon and Eamon during coffee hour after church. Andy would take the 2 restless boys out to the columbarium after the service, to get some of their energy out. I enjoyed sitting with him and singing hymns together. He loved to sing. I remember Easter 2008 and how he made the boys laugh, showing off in his new wheelchair. He will be missed but his smile will live on in our hearts. May you find peace.

Andy was a great friend, an inspired engineer and a cool guy to work with. I'll never forget his chuckle and dry sense of humor. How many times did he say, "Uh, okay Ken..." when I said something stupid? RIP.

To Trish and the boys. I'll always remember that family get together in the City. I lucked out or just bullied my way to a seat nest to Andy. We talked, joked, laughed, and just plain goofed around, while he was also trying to visit with others in the clan (I didn't make it easy for him), but we didn't cry (tough for me). That was a grand evening and it was great being together with you all. God bless Andy. .........Collin Tiura

Dear Trish
I am very sadden by Andy's passing. As you may know, we first met at Fluke, and we were very happy that he decided to join us at Avtech. He was well respected, and liked by all. I hope you and your family can find strength knowing that Andy was a good man.
