To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.

That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Andy always brough a smile to our faces. No matter how down you where if you saw Andy he brought a smile to your face. He will be missed by everyone he knew and even those he did not know but knew him. He was an inspiration to everyone. As I was talking to a friend at the wake he said a legend has passed on. How true

I was so saddened to learn of Andy's accident and struggle. He always cheered me up and was just such a very special man. My thoughts and prayers to his family.

Andy, you'll be sadly missed, I'll never forget how your happy nature always lifted my spirits, whenever I saw you out and about at local summer music venues, I called you Richie for years before I got it right and you always laughed it off, you NEVER forgot my name though. I'm glad I got to work with you, if even only briefly at Springfield Photomount. Keep that smile on and your thumb up buddy. Peace til we meet again my friend.
