Dear Jackie and family,
We were saddened to learn of Andy’s passing. Whenever we were in his company, he was always smiling, having a good time... that laugh...... he enjoyed his life and his family and friends. We have been touched by his “ Joie de vivre”.
May he Rest In Peace.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy to you Jackie and your entire family. It was such fun playing cards with both of you when I visited my brother at The Villages. You were such a nice couple and a delight to spend time with. I prayed for Andy and you nightly ever since I was told of his illness. It’s very difficult to go through something like this and you’ll continue to be in my prayers. God Bless, Claire Bouley
