Uncle Andy was and always will be the gentle giant. A special memory was Uncle Andy holding all our babies in the palms of his hands walking througout his home. Let us not mourn, but celebrate the life he had on earth and now his eternal life with the Lord. Bob and I will cherish his memory always.

Deepest sympathy with great expectations for the resurrection in Jesus Christ, our Lord.
