Dear Sandy and family -
My sympathy on the passing of your brother, Andy, of which I just learned.
He was a good friend during our days at Nolan School, and memories growing up on North State Street. He was well known and admired at Valley Bowl.
So sorry I did not learn this earlier.
Heartfelt sympathy.

I have been friends with Andy for 40 years. He was so awesome. We had many good times together back in the day. Then we lost touch for a stretch. But found each other again. He was someone who knew how to make you feel special. He was so much fun. Thanks for the memories Andy, You will be missed very much. Love your friend and Prom Date, Jayne~~
