Our condolences go out to the Andrew Family. I have known Mike JR. for several years through our business relationship which very quickly turned into a dear friendship. Having lost my Dad to cancer several years ago I understand the pain and the joy of having your father pass on to the next life. My God be with all the Andrews during this time of need. Psalm 9: 9-10 The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you.

I'm joining so many others who are saddened by your loss. Your father is an example of true love and dedication to his family and it is demonstrated in his children’s legacies and the impact they have on our individual’s lives. This is especially demonstrated through the positive impact Michael Jr. has had on my life. These are lessons that only a father teaches their children: treat individuals fairly, be open, and caring. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Michael J. Andrews Sr. Even though I only met Mr. Andrews one time, I could see the great person he was. I also see what a great father he was in my conversations with his sons, especially Michael Jr. who I have known for many years and is a dear friend of mine.
