Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to Mike and Kathy and Jim and Stephanie and their children on Uncle Andy's death. We haven't seen him in a long time but think of him often and all the good times we had at the holidays when we would all get together in Wauwatosa especially during the big winter storms. We will miss him and pray for him and Mike and Jim and their families. Love to all.

Uncle Andy will always be in our hearts and memories!! Going back to the 1950's on Stickney in Wauwatosa we still talk about touch football and Thanksgiving dinner with Andy,Marion,Mike and Jim...The whole "gang" was always there. Bill and Virginia Carroll and their entire family, including Prue and I....Marion got Prue started with the introduction of Royal Doulton Toby Mugs and 350 mugs later we still think of Marion and the great times we always had with them. Andy was one of a kind, a classy gentleman who we will NEVER FORGET!!! Our Love to Mike and Jim's families as you all celebrate Andy's long and wonderful life and the great Legacy he has left behind in the form of children and grand children. All our Love to all and God Will Bless Andy and Marion forever.
