i knew Andy from St. John's in Illinois. He was the nicest guy I have ever met. My sympathy to all his family. I met his Mom when she would come to Illinois to visit Andy. There were Sunday's that Andy was working and I would take his Mom to church , she was a really great lady, so my heart really goes out to her at this time. God Bless all of you.

I met Andy when I went to work for Honeywell, and became friends with him from the start. He was a larger than life guy, and very fun to work with. I spent time with him outside of work, going to a couple of Cardinal games with him, and a few comedy shows. I've thought alot about Andy since I heard this terrible news, I'm very thankful that I got to meet and spend time with him. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Andy's family and friends.
