Andrew will always be thought of as our third son. He spent many nights at our house with Patrick during their high school years. As his basketball coach he was one of my favorite players I coached. I can still see him taking or "faking" a charge. He will be missed as a son to Sue and me, not as just a friend. Love you, Stu and Sue Richardson
