I worked with Andy for almost 3 years. He was sooo funny. He had sweet dance moves and numerous imitations. He adored his wife she would text him thru the day and he would just giggle. He adored his girls his oldest he loved how her sense of humor was like his, his liliana he was so smitten by how intelligent and mature she is his kaylee was sassy and reminded him so much of Katrina and his baby Madeline she was daddy's girl. My deepest sympathy to you all he is so missed. I have great memories I will always cherish.

I always enjoyed the great conversations we used to have sitting in the boat in the middle of a local reservoir even if the fish weren't biting. You will be greatly missed my friend. My condolences to the family on their loss.
