His sense of humor, especially in times of tension, was a gift to all of us. He was a major contributor to many organizations such as Rotary and the Chamber of Commerce. He was always a gentleman and will be missed by all of us.

Passings like Andy's remind us of how frail life is and of our own mortality. Although he was a class ahead of me at Canandaigua Academy, we were good friends back then, as we were both members of Sea Scout Ship 29. I remember that he played the drums and always had a smile. Nothing ever seemed to upset him. Condolences to his family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I just can't believe it. He was a great person and always fun to talk with about Jazz and Canandaigua.

Another fallen member of the class of 1961, a friend and classmate. Andy will be missed for sure and left us at too young an age. Thank you Andy for your friendship and that forever smile you always had for everyone.
