God looked around His garden and found an empty place.He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best.He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, so He closed your weary eyelids and whispered "Peace be thine".It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn’t go alone,For part of us went with youThe day God called you home.
RIP Uncle Andy.

Andy has always been a good friend and Mason. He was very active in the York Rite of Freemasonry, and served as District Deputy in all four York Rite Bodies. He will be sorely missed by all.
