Jean,Maxie Jr.and Cedric, Words can't express how I felt when I heard the passing of Andy whom I always called him. Andy was a true friend who I will never forget. I always loved his honesty and realness regardless of whatever he thought. He gave so much to me when he taught me how to make North Carolina Style BBQ way back in the seventies. I have shared so much of his BBQ all throughout the United States.I will forever miss him and his friendship.Your Family had grown to be like my family.I Love you all and Know that I am thinking about you and will continue to pray for you.
