One of the first times I ever saw Andy, he was playing out on the front yard of his house on Hilaire Road in St. Davids. As it happened, a group of us were driving to one movie or another and we were picking up our friend, Steve Mark. Just who was that darling little pixie running around the yard with an ever-so-slightly rotund beagle giving chase? Your little brother? I had no idea you had a little brother!
The pixie had a name: Andy, but his brother always called him 'Drews', and he was perhaps the most adorable little creature I'd ever seen: this huge smile, twinkling eyes, a shimmery buzz-cut and the most enchanting giggle. Who could ask for more?The little brother I had was still too young for knocking around with, but Andy was often in our company and hardly anyone noticed the seven-year difference in our ages. As a matter of fact, Andy went with me to see Peter, Paul; and Mary (twice!) at the Academy of Music and his parents didn't even seem to bat an eyelash. Guess the sister/daughter thing was beginning even then.
Thinking back over the years, the closest I can come to describing Andy is to say he was most like Peter Pan. Peter, the courageous, mischievous, stubborn, curious, headstrong, spontaneous, good-natured leader of a rag-tag group of boys had misplaced his shadow and from that moment on was flung into a world he would try to alter to suit himself, rather than be altered by it. Andy had his own way of doing things and, like Peter, learned from experience rather than from often unsolicited advice.
In the stage musical 'Peter Pan', Peter sings, "I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow u-u-u-p, not me!" Andy never grew up and that was his greatest charm.

I have been heartsick over Andy's suffering.
The last time Barry and I saw, him he was more chipper than we could believe. We had a wonderful day with him, Cindy, Char and Steve at the Morakami Gardens.
His loss has been anticipated, but the reality of that loss is still very harsh. We need to be comforted by the fact that both Vernon and Betty were there to greet him and his pain is over.
I'll always remember him as we walked down the aisle together at Char and Steve's wedding: young, handsome and that million dollar smile.
With Love.
Tearfully,
Lynda

Andy was a big part of my life. As my little brother I can't remember a time when he wasn't around and now there is a big void where his smiling face and big laugh used to be. We will all miss him greatly and extend our sincere sympathies to Cindy, Kim and Christian, his extended family and to all of his friends. What a great guy!

Dear Cyndy, Kim and Christian. Nancy and I have been thinking of all of you since we heard the news. Cyndy, I had the very unique and blessed experience of friendships and love with Andy and you both in childhood and then renewed in 1992. You have all brought great joy to our lives and we will miss Andy terribly. We love all of you and have you in our hearts. We will see you at the memorial service. Love Rus, Nancy, Stephanie, Brett.
