Not sure what to say?

Dear Steve, my heart goes out to you in losing your dad. You are a wonderful person,wonderful friend, and especially a wonderful son.
Rivers run deep and appear still but you and I know about the currents.... they're always there....

Sandy and The Andersen Family,

I first met Andy while as a manager @ Stanfords. He once offered my girlfriend $500 to stop smoking as he gave hear a friendly, fatherly lecture. Her response was that she'd like to, but she was a widow with 6 children. He assured her that was even more of a reason. I knew from that moment that he genuinely cared about people.
I moved on to the Chart House and was happy to see he was a guest there. We loved to see him and Sandy. He'll surely be missed....

Dear Steve and family - We were so sorry to hear about H.A. By all accounts he had a wonderful life and was quite an inspiration to others. Great people leave great holes in our lives when they are gone and I know you will all miss him terribly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Andy was a very special man. He was a man to be proud of, with such integrity and great character that we all should be inspired by. We will all miss him very much. With our deepest sympathies.

To the Andersen Family:
My prayers and thoughts are with you during this time of loss. Mr. Andersen will be greatly missed.

May God comfort you and your family during this time of transition from when you had Andy/Dad with you, to him waiting for you in God's heavenly kingdom.

Dear Andersen Family,
We had known Andy for only a few years, but he made a huge impact on us all! We loved the stories of his full and well lived life, we were one of many who experienced his kindness and thoughtfulness, and we were honored to have known him. Erin loved the smile on his face when she brought him blueberries! The service was beautiful, and Andy will live within us forever.

Sandy...You added years to Andy's life. "H.A." was one of a kind and truly a very special human being. He will be greatly missed.

Mr. & Mrs. Andersen & Family; We are so sorry for your loss. Mr. Andersen sounds like an amazing man who made a great impact in his lifetime.. Sincerely, Don, Janet & Ashley Vachal
