Andrew,
The hole in my heart is far beyond anything I could have imagined. You were such a great friend. We didn’t talk every day or see each other often, but you were never far from my thoughts. So many little things would bring back memories of your big heart, your funny yet strong personality, and the steadfast way you stood by what you believed in. You have blessed so many of us with just knowing you.
You were a dear friend who became family, and I am forever grateful that...

Keller, words cant explain how hard it is to loose a friend like you. Ill remember the nights in Korea closing up the line on swing shift, getting drinks and grilling up with everyone. You were a great friend and a great leader.
Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.
Rest easy buddy, I will miss you until we meet again. Harrumph.

Andrew, you were an exceptional leader — fearless and always willing to stand up for what was right. So many of us, myself included, held you in the highest regard because we trusted you to make the right decisions, no matter how difficult they were.
Words can’t fully express the sorrow I felt upon hearing of your passing. Though I am retired now, I continue to hope and pray for comfort and strength for your family and for all who knew and loved you.
I can only hope that...
