Read MoreI knew Andy when he was just a boy about 5 or 6 years old. I have a photo of him at my brothers birthday party. He was a VERY SWEET kid. I think of him often when I think of my brother who passed in 1995.

You were the other half of me. Brother by another mother. I miss you everyday. I cry, then I feel like we all have the most wonderful angel above us. I love you so much, but you know that!

I worked with Andy at IHG, and he was a fine man and colleague. Always cheerful and full of humor, I'll miss him. How terrible that he's gone.

Hi shuggie! Sometimes I miss you so much I can't move. Reading the entries here again I understand that you were joy, and humor and celebration for everyone that knew you.
You were the person in my life that helped me the most raising five children by myself. The long phone calls at the end, or early beginning of a complicated day kept me going when problems and challenges seemed insurmountable . I know you know these things.
Thank you for an entire lifetime of laughs and...

I love you shugs. Life isn't the same without you to look forward to.
I hear your happy laugh in my dreams, and know that you are free now, in a place that's full of love.
I'll see you there. I miss you.

A big piece of my heart fell off when I heard about Andy. We lived next door on Hillview Drive and I babysat for all of you. I just loved you kids and missed you so much when I went away to college. I remember lining you up at the kitchen bar and making cookies together - eating cookie dough. I remember when Andy came home from the hospital. He was always special to me. You all will always have a special place in my heart.
Much love from me.

Like some of you, I knew Andy while growing up on Fairmount Hill. His grandmother's house was in back of ours, and I'm sure we met through one of our many treks in the neighborhood. I remember his smile and his humor. God rest Andy! Family take care.

Andy was truly a gift to all who had the opportunity to know him, even if only for a reason, season or short time. Take comfort in your memories.
God Bless
