I remember when I was roommates with Andy and Sabrina years ago. I was making the corded that morning. As I was filling up the coffee pot with water.....it started pouring out everywhere. I said....Andy....something is wrong with this coffee pot...it leaks like a sieve. Andy said yeah man....it tends to do that when you fill it up twice! Andy....I'm still in shock brother. And deeply saddened. But I know you would want all of us to remember the good times....and smile when we think about you....

I was a struggling college student with no real job experience yet. Andy gave me a job and a chance. He fostered a healthy work environment that always felt like family. That was over 40 years ago. I never forgot what a happy, kind and positive gentleman he was and I'll always be grateful for that chance he gave me. Rest in peace, Andy.
