Calloway and Great Grandpa Andy

Grandpa- I will miss you more than you could ever know. Your constant jokes, your hugs, your laugh. My passion for cars comes from you, and I’m so grateful for everything, every memory we’ve had. I am so glad you got to meet your great grandson and pass along your love and your jokes. As always, I love you much.

We always appreciated Andy's friendship and service at Nettle's Island. He will be missed.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

We are praying for you Patty. Our sincere Christian sympathy in the loss of your dear husband Andy.

Patty, it was good to have Andy and your pariticipation on the HCHS 55th Class reunion committee, and that way
get to know you again at that stage of our lives. Blessings as you carry on with family and faith.

Dear Patty & Family,
We were shocked to hear about Andy! You are all on our hearts and in our prayers as you go through this sad time. To say Andy lived in technicolor was spot on!! He could light up a room in a nanosecond and ALWAYS had at least one joke to tell, if not more!! He was so passionate about life and those he held close. We will miss his random phone calls, “just to check in”. We are forever grateful for his friendship and his servant heart. Much love to all of you.

My heartfelt condolences to the Buursma family. Andy was always a bright spot in my day whenever he’d visit my business, sharing his infectious sense of humor.

I am sorry to hear of Andy's passing. My sympathy to his wife Patty. I have missed seeing them go by since they have moved from Silver Lake. Gus Lindgren, the guy who always sits in the garage at the house with the Turkey Crossing sign.
