I got to know Andy from Cedar Common days, were he was a leader in getting people together to play volleyball, going out for lunch, Sunday evening BBQ's and just being with friends and making new ones. He will be missed. He had a way of always cheering you up. My heart goes out to his sister Vickie and his parents. "Steve Hanke

Andy's sister was my best friend in High School. I remember him as a lovely young man, who always treated me with respect, even though we pestered him a lot. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. Sleep Well, Sweet Prince.

Andy was a great friend who literally spent hours talking about his special love for Jesus. He is now present with the Lord and literally spending all of his time worshiping his Savior. We miss you my friend until we meet again. Terry

I miss my lunch buddy and your daily phone calls. You were an important part of my life. I always knew I could count on you. It isn't too often that you meet someone and right from the start become such good friends. You will forever be in my heart. My only solice is that I know that you are with the Lord and not in pain any longer. My prayers are with you and your family. Until we meet again my friend....
