Not sure what to say?

Andy was a great guy, if he was to make a mistake he would take full responsibility and apologize and share some Captain Morgan's with you... a True Irishman with a heart of gold!!

A true Irishman, he was a good guy, a drinker, not a fighter...

will miss you and remember all the cheap food and drink we consumed in the harbor. those days are gone. i hope you are in A PEACEFUL AND BETTER PLACE.

My favorite memories are of attending my first "Dead" concert with you in 1974, Skiing Breckenridge and cruising to the harbor to catch the sunset. RIP, you will be missed.

I miss the comfort of his company, his counsel and his friendship. I leaned on him many times, and I only wish I could have returned the favor more often. His passing has left a huge empty space in my heart.

My sincere condolences to Kay, family, and friends. I'll remember Andy as a cheerful and generous person. I wish you Peace and Healing.

Our deepest sympathy to Kay and her family.
May Andy find peace.

Andy was my brother-in-law. On my wedding day, he was the guy who got stuck driving us around San Francisco between the ceremony and the reception so our photographer could get some scenic photos. Of course, Andy was happy to help. When my veil flew off into the bay with a gust of wind, he was there to calm me. He was the voice of reason when I thought my special day was completely ruined. I will miss him dearly. Rest in Peace, Andy.

I've known Andy since high school but hadn't talked to him in 30 years until last summer when I called him to see if he would give me and my son ride on his sailboat. Without hesitation he said sure just bring some Budweiser. That's the Andy I know. Brother you will be missed
