We knew him. When he was just starting out. Damon and our oldest son were very good buddies. We lost his Dad A,an at just age 40. It was tough raising 3 sons on my own but we did it. I am still close friends with Tom and Becky Head. Hi to Becky and her boys/ men. I love and miss you God blss Judy Marek

Mr. Love helped me turn my life around many years ago as a wayward teen. Though he was my attorney, he genuinely cared and wouldnt even take any money for his service. My condolences to his family.

Andy, Virgil, Marcia and I traveled down the highway to Ohio U together. Andrew had the car and we were all Akron bonded sisters and brothers. I will never forget his wonderful smile and loving personality.

He was the ideal big brother and talked about his sister and brother and his love of his family.

May God continue to inspire his wife and children with the lasting memory of Andy's love.

Becky and family, I am so sorry to hear about Andy. It's been a long time since we've talked or saw you. We lived next door to you on Rockingham Ct. and Damon and our Michael were good friends way before either of them were in school. Carly e-mailed me and I just wanted to get in touch to let you know how very sorry I was to hear. I lost Alan in 1987 and raised the boys whom are all grown now. My best to you and your sons. Judy Marek -Maynard. Would love to hear from you. Judy.

Andy was a dedicated brother. He showed this at Ohio U. He showed this in our OU Alumni chapter. He showed this as he counseled many of us. He was one of my big brothers in Alpha. He helped introduce me to Columbus when I first moved here.
