Very sad news to hear. I was in Andy's 1986 Gerard Catholic High School graduating class. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. I used to work with Ruth in my past job so my special thoughts to her and her family. Please let me know if you need anything.

July 29, 2011

I knew Andy and his sister Julie from Gerard. I haven't spoken or seen him for years. I remember him as one of the most sincere people I ever had the pleasure of knowing. He cared deeply for his younger sister and always was a class act. My deepest condolences to his family, most especially his children. God Bless you all.
