Not sure what to say?

Hard to believe it's been 10 years, bud. I'm still kicking around, watching races when I can although I gave up my Speedway Club membership two years ago when I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon and Liver Cancer. After a year's worth of chemo and two operations I was declared cancer free only to be diagnosed with Stage 2 Prostate cancer last year. 28 days of radiation last Nov took care of that one.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Andrea, I was distressed to learn of Andy's passing. I got the news belatedly thru AARN, which was strangely appropriate as he and I first met in the press box at Fonda Speedway so many years ago when he was a cub reporter for the Johnstown newspaper. During that time we had many adventures together, most involving auto racing, but others just because we enjoyed each other's company. I had the pleasure of attending your wedding, and the joy of seeing the happiness you and he shared....

To Andy's family,
I was away last week and came home to here of both Andy's and another
Johnstown classmates (Tom Rose) passing. I'm very sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of joining Andy & Adam, along with others for a day of spring skiing at Gore last year. I was looking forward to another outing this year. Also ran into Andy this past fall at an memorial event for Jumping Jack Johnston an Royal.

Andy's untimely passing is a huge loss to the DIRT Motorsports Hall of Fame and those of us dedicated to preserving the history of the sport. We certainly mourn his absence.

Dear Andrea - We were shocked & saddened to learn of Andy's death through the "Sedal cousins grapevine", & extend our deepest condolences to you, Jennifer, & Adam. Fred & I each have different memories of Andy growing up; Fred as his cousin & fellow stock car enthusiast, & me as a K-12 classmate & neighbor. He was always such an interesting, personable & friendly guy, which led to all his success throughout his adult life. We regret that we had not seen him for so many years.

You are...

An honorable man. Condolences to his family.

I am sorry to learn of Andy's death. He was my brother's friend since kindergarten and lived in our neighborhood in Johnstown when we were growing up. My condolences to your family.
