To the Family of Andy,
Andy, you were the fabric that made our neighborhood great. OUR golden age. You could live 100 houses away, and we knew everyone. The ingredients of South Weymouth is in our blood. Your family house on the corner still brings me such fond memories. Your Dad sitting on the porch. Playing baseball with Matty and Jay. Your Mom always saying hello, as ALL the mothers knew ALL of us.
You handing out water at the graduations, riding your "bike" around town. Your very PROUD stories about all your children. This is what your life was, is, and should be.
Whenever our paths crossed, no matter how many years in-between, it was like 10 minutes ago.
You were a Prince among men, a Guardian of our liberty and freedom, an Angel to those who were in need.
You will be missed by so many people.
To your wonderful children, family, and extended family, there are too many stories to put in here about your Son, Dad, Husband, Brother, Uncle. It could be a novel.
God, bring young Andrew into your Kingdom. You now have another Angel to guard us all.

Dad,
Thank you for your part in making me the man that I am today. I always loved your passion for charity work, volunteerism, and helping others. You will truly be missed, however, you will live on in the hearts of everyone who knew you, thanks to the memories we all have of you.
Love,
Michael "Spaz" Best
