My lifelong friend Andrew. I miss you tremendously, and it’s only been a couple of weeks. I’m so used to talking with you on a daily basis, and now those days are gone. We were friends for decades. Our times together were always so positive and fun! I will always remember the thrill of our racing days, and how we dominated together. The love and loyalty you had for your family and friends was beyond amazing. There were countless numbers of times you would drop what you were doing to help me out of a jam. I love you, my friend, so very much! Until we meet again, in the staging lanes of heaven, please remember fondly our great friendship.
