Al “King of Rhythm” McKay is the person responsible for introducing me into the inner world of Earth, Wind & Fire in 1980. But the late Andrew Paul Woolfolk II was the one most responsible for my actual employment with the best American band ever. Because of his mentioning my name to Maurice White when the band was reforming in 1987 after a hiatus, I came home from work one evening to find a message on my answering machine from Reece. “This is Maurice White. Andrew says I should hire you....

Andrew my friend we had wonderful times together playing in the marching band at CU, and the time we spent playing down at 23rd Street East. I will truly miss you and that wonderful sense of humor rest in peace my friend.

My mother Hazel Duncan of San Antonio Texas and and Andrew Woolfork's mother were best friends. I knew him very well as a childhood friend, l remember his loving smile my name Rose Duncan, San Antonio Texas. He will always be in my heart ❤

Andrew, now traveling Eternal Life, knew you since about 9thgrade, you, your brother and I, friends, always glad to see one another, You got busy in EWF.so happy for you. You were such a talent, and in good spirits through it all. I so wish your family the best. So many who'd sadly lost touch with you, but never forgot you, say "Bravo" for a life well lived, for all the smiles you left behind you, and the smiles still to come, when memories of you arise like dew from early morning grass. What...

A key member of one of the best big band brass sections ever to uplift our Earthly souls to the stars. Sax players fly free. Vale Andrew. Earth Wind and Fire music plays on for ever.
