Andy I was lucky to have you as a friend and then a brother-in law. Thank you for being so good to my sister, your family and our family. We will miss you so much and you will never be out of our thoughts. I will miss your smiling face, the sound of your laughter and how you used to "sing".

Whenever I think of Andy, I see that big, cheerful smile that he always wore for everyone he met. Andy was such a friendly, polite, and outgoing person. He could light up a room just by walking in. I will never forget that smiling face. Andy, you will be missed.

My condolences to all of Andy's loving family. My heart breaks for all of you, and my prayers are with you always.
