Without Andy, I may have never heard 2LiveCrew or been nicknamed Oompa Loompa. You never realize how young you are and how much life there is to live until someone you grew up with passes on. So to Andy, thanks for making me laugh, even if it was at myself.

luv.

Andy will be missed. I have been going to school with Andy since John Swett, but never really talked to him. Only said hi every once in a while. He always had a smile on his face and had a big heart. I will always remember him as a great athlete. He will be remembered always!!!! Wendie Matheson:) Class of 1995

I haven't seen Andy very much during the last few years but I have no doubt the he was always my friend because that is how he was. Andy was a great person as well as a great friend and I loved him for it. He always had a smile or a warm hug when he saw you and he made my life better for having known such a wonderful person.

Each life is a miracle that changes the world and leaves it a better place than it was before.

Andy, you will always be in my thoughts and I will miss you.

I have many, many memories of Andy and my Son. He was one of my Son's dearest and closest friends. I remember them, with their dates at the proms and balls, all dressed up, with "pimp shades" on. How could I ever forget the football games. They didn't loose, not one game all through high school, and played at the Oakland Coliseum!! I remember sewing the "LAU" on the back of his football jerserys. He was always a welcomed guest at our house, so polite and with a beautiful smile on his face. I was very proud that my son had such a wonderful and loyal friend in Andy. Our family adored him, and he will be missed so much!!

They say, "The ones you love are really never gone, they remain in your heart forever"
Andy truly will!!
