Andy worked well with young people including coaching our son while playing baseball for German Township. He was so caring in his approach. Most recently, we will remember his frequent solo bike rides out on St. Wendel Road. His wind swept hair, his cool sunglasses, and his iconic red tank top as he negotiated the curvy terrain. That memory will stick with us. To the family cherish the memories of a truly great man. May God give you strength during this tragic time. Jim & Robin Schmidt

Andy was the little brother of one of my best friend, Pam. I remember him as a giggly, happy little boy. He will be missed by so many who loved him.

I had never met Andy, but I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to Pam, his sister. Pam and I were in Marching Girls together at Rex Mundi. We are never prepared to lose those we love, especially without any warning. I will keep you in my prayers, that you find comfort in your memories of your brother and with the rest of your family. Again, my deepest sympathy. Susan Baker Fischer
