Not sure what to say?

I'm very sorry to learn this news. I've always been fond of Andy and always think of him whenever I hear a pennywhistle or a Gaelic song.
Fare you well.

I just learned of Andy's passing, and I was very sorry to hear of it. He was one of the first customers we had at our new store and became a irregular regular customer. He brought others to us too.
Until we cross paths again Andy, be well everywhere you are.

I knew Andrew at the Spencer Research Library at KU and though we weren't close friends it was fun to check in with him from time to time in our different places in the world. I had heard of his cancer battle and wrote to him then but never heard back. Sorry to hear that he passed a while back but condolences to his family and friends.

Andrew was my "little neighbor" growing up in PV, KS. Condolences & best wishes to Stephanie (Fessie) and Rene. I remember you all, and Honey well. My mom, who is 94, sent me the obit from the KC Star.

Reading your loved one's obituary brought a smile to my face. may your memories of such a man live with you forever.

Andy was a joy to have as a neighbor and coworker we really miss him here in Anchorage, still have the coop he built for his revered chickens in our backyard.

Such a gentle and kind soul. Could always make you laugh, with a twinkle in his eye, unending curiosity, his witty humor, integrity & the love of being with his friends & family! Gentle passings on this next journey.

My wife and I would like to thank you so very much for sharing about Andrew's life and its many joys. At ages 81 and 77 we have had more than one friend / loved one fall, hit their head, and die on-the-spot. Instantly gone forever. I travel the world and share his joys with him and with you the family. Maybe, just maybe, by mentioning how Andrew passed you may have saved a life. Again, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. We will remain deeply touched and moved.

Heartfelt condolences to Andy's family and loved ones. Fair winds, Andy
