Not sure what to say?

I knew Andy through Hobart Church in late 60's, 70's. He was a key member of the church, taught Sunday school, maintained a positive weekly presence. He also organized a great father son dinner in about 1973 or 74, and got Roundhouse Rodney to be guest speaker. Somehow he put that all together, I don't know how. I did not say much ( if anything) if Sunday school. Usually he just debated issues of the day with Ricky Bruce. I was happy not t be asked anything. I miss those great...

So sorry to hear that Andy passed. I have been out of town for the last couple of years and didn´t realize he passed in June. I worked with Andy for about 20 years and defiantly learned a lot from him especially how important it is to to volunteer and help others in our community. My condolences to Audrey and family. Rip Andy. I will remember you and miss you forever. Donna

Andy has played a significant part in my life, and I am so very sorry to read of his death. I know Andy and Audrey from their time as youth directors at Fairmount Avenue UMC. My love to Audrey and all of the family. May his memory be a blessing.

Andy was quite simply a legend at Prepare and Prosper as a "professional volunteer." He was always the first to jump in to help and answer questions, along with sharing a funny story/antidote/or tax tip with anyone who would listen.

Andy will be deeply missed by all of us that he touched with his kindness, humor, and faith. I am grateful for having known him and worked with him at Simpson Housing Services and Prepare + Prosper. Thank you Andy for the wonderful memories. Many prayers for Audrey and family.

So sorry to hear of Andrew's passing. What a wonderful, godly man. He will be missed by family and friends alike. Comfort in knowing that he is with Christ!

Prays of comfort and strength for Audrey and family.

In love,
