Not sure what to say?

Andy will truly be missed. He was a great coworker and a genuinely caring person. I worked with him as a conductor and a yardmaster at CSX. One of our routes often took us past the cemetery where my father is buried. We would always salute him when we went by. He told me that he would salute my Dad and thank him for his service even when I wasn't with him. That's the kindness of a good man. Blessings to his family and friends.

I was blessed to be one of Andy´s many cousins whom he steadfastly and lovingly kept in touch with. I will always remember his beautiful base voice saying, "Love you cuz!"

Dear Youells Family, I am so sorry to hear of Andy´s passing. I went to Olivet when Pastor Y was there and Andy was a young man. He was always a great kid and full of so much fun and energy. Please know that your whole family is in our prayers. Terri (Haagen) Miling and Mary Haagen

Andy was sure one of a kind.. He always made sure to check on friends daily. Andy had a big heart.. Always willing to be there for people. He sure taught me a lot in the few years I knew him! He told me once, "Billie, to build anything anywhere, you must start with a brick of TRUST." That will ring in my ears for a lifetime! Andy, I miss you my friend! Hugs

My deepest sympathy to the whole Youells family especially to Laura and Nick. Feel my hug to both of you. Sending love, Paula

I worked with Andy for many years. We talked about our coffee obsession and he was always joking and laughing. He was a lot of fun to work with. My condolences to your family.

Andy's family I first meet Andy in 2006. I was recently divorced and we met for a date. I remember the first time I made dinner for him and offered him coffee (Well you know Andy and turning down coffee) and I brought him a regular cup of coffee. He looked at me with a twinkle in his eye and asked if that was all the bigger cup I had. So I went and got the biggest WESCO cup I had and asked him if that was big enough if not the next size available was a 2 gallon thermos. With the twinkle...
