Andrew E. Crapol

Dear Jeanne and Ed,
Learning of your grief in losing your son -- "our little
Andy" -- whom Bill knew from the day he was born and I met when he was four years old and fell in love with at first sight. leaves all of us with a heavy heart. It seems almost impossible; in our sorrow we know no words can console you in your loss. The little boy we knew was such a fun kid to be around! Reading about him as an adult makes me know he grew up to be everything anyone could have hoped for...

Ed and Jeanne,
Memories of wonderful times with you and your family come to me so strongly over so many years, and I am so very, very shocked and saddened to hear of Andrew's death. What a beautiful and fine young man he grew up to be. Fredrika Teute send me a card that arrived today and told me about his death. You are so much in my thoughts, dear friends from our youth.
I am in Florida now, where I took care of my mom for some years. Much love and sympathy to you from Joy...

Better people, better all around. He lived the life of a 70 year old man...

I had the pleasure of meeting Andrew back in 2005 while I was still in high school. I used to go to D.C. to visit my brother Sergio, and Andrew was one of Sergio's friends who immediately embraced me with open arms, telling me that if I ever needed anything, not to be afraid to ask. Every time I had visited since then, I got to hang out with Andy at sporting events, clubs, restaurants. He always had the greatest stories to tell; he lived his life to the fullest. I feel honored that the last...

Dear Heidi, My deepest sympathy on the loss of your brother. I was crushed to hear this news. I send my love to you and your family during this time. May the peace of God which passes all understanding be with you now and forever. With love, Laurie Rogers

Jeanne, I also have sons about Andrew's age and can't imagine the grief you and your family must be experiencing from this loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Jeanne, I send my love to you and your family. May it be of some small comfort to know that as you celebrate Andy's life, some of your oldest friends keep you in our hearts.
