I just heard that Andy "Trey" has passed. Andy was in my brother's grade at Rose Lane Elementary. I remember him in his Cub Scout Uniform. I also knew Andy when we were in our 20's; we spent time in San Diego together. Andy was energetic and outgoing; i always liked him. He was a terrific young man; I'm saddened to learn he has passed.

Andrew thinking of you today as I am playing with the Grandson you never got to meet. He is a very special little guy. Please continue to watch over your son Dallas as he becomes a man and needs lots of guidance.
