Andrew Rush Folmer

We were neighbors for many years on Big Bend in Carrollton TX. Our youngest son, now 34, was a Barney enthusiast! Andy´s impersonation of Barney was spot on and our son loved it! Our families had several bonds. Our hearts are broken for the entire family. Andy was so full of life and love. Our prayers are with the family as everyone wraps their hearts around how to honor his enthusiasm for life and go forward. Love to you.

I´m so sorry this tragedy happened to Linda, the kids, and everyone that knew and loved Andy. There were so many things I loved about Andy, his positive outlook on life, his sense of humor and of course his laugh! To summarize Andy.... I always felt better after being around him!!!

Carla and I will miss Andy's bigger than life smile. Our hearts go out to you Linda and your family.

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Andy was a wonderful friend and role model in my life. A friend to all. Growing up, he would call our house and do a Barney impression that had me convinced!
I love you Andy. We will miss you so much.

I met Andy at Red Diamond Gym and enjoyed his energy and positive attitude. What a lasting memory he implanted on many of us. Prayers of comfort and love to his family who he beamed when telling stories of you all. Janet Dunkerley

Many memories of Andy playing the important role of booking agent for entertainment for our class dances and parties while we both were at St. Mark's. Grateful to see him again, recently, when we both attended a informal class luncheon at Celebration in December. Prayers for comfort for all of his family and friends.

I remember going to see Jaws 2 with my brother Bruce and Andy. Before the movie began Andy, who must´ve seen trailers of it, was telling us about it and Bruce said "Cmon Andy you´re ruining the movie for us..." So he quit but during the show when the sheriff ( Roy Scheider)was walking into the water to the accompaniment of the Jaws theme because he had seen something. When the charred body washed over him in a wave, Andy reflexively threw his arm up with a big coke in his hand and showered the nearby audience. And everybody laughed good naturedly. That Andy - RIP.

Bruce and I send all of our love to Linda and all the family. There are so many fun memories we have had with Andy, but my favorite is when he and Linda would come over for dinner and our youngest daughter thought he was Barney the Dinosaur, because he would only talk to her in Barney´s voice! She was 3 and she was just enamored with Andy/Barney! Andy had numerous other perfect spot on voices of other characters. He also did a perfect Donald Duck. He always kept us laughing with his wit and humor. Andy, we miss you!
Love from Bruce and Kim Arthur and family
