"Julie and Michael ...We were so shocked and saddened to hear about Andy's passing. I have such fond memories of Andy knowing him since he was 12 years old when I first became acquainted with your family who sponsored me from Germany to work at Midland Memorial Hospital in 1963. He had such a charming personality and we will miss him a lot ". In loving memory-ERNA AND WAYNE SEALE (Baxter, MN)
