Both Jane and I attended the service today for Andy. Although I have not seen Andy in quite a while I used to get updates from my mom when she was alive and was still able to visit him. Cally it was good to hear your comments remembering the old times on Prospect. It was an era not seen as much today. Somewhere one of us has a painting that Andy did of our house and hung in Mom and Dads house for years in the living room and then went with them to Seabury. I was hoping to see either you or Billy or both but understand that was not possible. God bless both of you. I hope all is ok. The Reverend did a very nice job and I am happy that I went

It is with great sadness that my best friend Andy passed away, I stopped at the nursing home Dec. 20 Tuesday with his Christmas gifts but was shocked to here from a nurse that he passed away. Last time i saw Andy was on my monthly visit in November with his Birthday Gifts and items he asked for. I grew up with Andy in Bloomfield and we both were in the same high school and graduated together, We both attended Dean College and graduated. Andy became an Landscape Architect and i an Architect. we remain good friends forever.. Andy architectural services helped me many times and paid him for his services. My true Friend and buddy Andy. Peace be with him now. Will be present at the funeral home Jan 5th.
