I worked with Andy at MCP Co. for many years. His wit and wisdom was profound and always would have some humor for the day. Whenever I or my wife see a tugboat we'll think of Andy.RIP GOOD FRIEND.

My sincere sympathy to all of Andy's family. I have known Andy since the early '80s. I have enjoyed watching ships with him at the Soo and along the St.Clair River. I have also enjoyed his photos and reports on the boatnerd page. He will be missed by our family, and our mutual friend Walter Watkins.

I worked with Andy at MCP in the earkly 80's. He was always quick with a joke and ready to relieve you of any unwanted food. I have thought of him frequently in the last years as I have honed my culinary skills. May heaven be all that you imagined x 10! rest now "Fuzz Face" and remeber we will always have the Oriental Theatre.

To all of Andy's family, my sincere sympathy. I knew Andy since 1975 and shared many good times with him from boat trips, to photo contests, to get togethers (w/a bit of cheer added), to shared speeding tickets and all things to remember. I'll miss him and often have him in my memories. My sincere thoughts are with you all. Wendell Wilke.

Andy: You're a good man with a heart of gold. Your wry sense of humor and ever-present smile will be greatly missed. Your vast knowledge and willingness to share it made you a unique person. Our world will be a bit less cheerful, and a bit less knowledgeable, with your passing.
God Bless,
Rocky
