The entire St Cloud and Waite Park area is in shock that we lost you dear dear man. It will never be the same as you were someone we looked to see around as we have seen you all of our lives, you should still be here. Our loss runs deep in our hearts. How many times we saw you at the fund raiser speghetti dinner for the blind. Or at the Whitney Senior Center. Or standing on a corner waiting for a bus. Selling candy and papers at the Post Office. You touched so many lives with your kindness...

As a kid I remember going to the post office and always had to stop and get something from Andy. It's beautiful how he surpassed his lack of physical sight with a heart that could see right into people. He's a St Cloud Institution that will be missed.

Andy was truly a great advocate for people with disabilities. He always had great suggestions and worked tirelessly for the Federation of the Blind. He will be truly missed.

I was a kid who grew up in Waite Park and everyone knew Andy. A man we could all hope to be more like. Thanks for being such a thoughtful inspiring human being.
