Not sure what to say?

Andy may have graduated from Chaminade in Hollywood, but we earlier enjoyed his company at St. Juliana´s Grammar and Cardinal Newman High in West Palm. Year later, he joined his classmates there and looked to be that same cordial, charming, humorous person we all remembered. Rest In Peace you very good man. And remember what to say anytime anyone asks "What?". The immediate response is: "ZIP BONGONG........"....!!! As we all learned from Andy.

Andrew, Leaving Bellevue the other day, I keyed in your name and was stunned to see this notice. You were one of the smartest and organized contractors I had worked with during my engineering career at Bonneville Power. It is often said that life is but a journey to the perfect home. I trust you are with your parents and family members who have gone before you. You are a well loved friend.

Great Guy who had a real zest for life. Always positive and looking to help anyone in need. Andy will be missed and I know he is where God wants him to be.
My sincere condolences to the Family.

My condolences to Andy's family. I worked with Andy at the Oregon Youth Authority. His smile and outlook on life was contagious.

Andy, thanks for all the wonderful 1980s memories: the trips, the adventures, and the fun.

You were smart enough to have informed opinions, and humble enough to listen to others. Your strong sense of self was tempered by compassion for other people and important causes. You had the DNA and the...

My condolences on your family's loss.

A very kind man and will be greatly missed by all.
