My most sincere condolences to The Miner Family. Andy and I met around 25 years ago in Rochester while working for Tops Market he would come every week to deliver merchandise for the company he worked for back then and always found time to stick around and had great conversations. Always said something that would make me laugh. We went on a memorable trip to NYC so that I could show him my hometown and meet my family. Till this day I can almost hear his voice. My only regret is that I didn't spend more time to have more good times. Miss you brother!

I am so sorry for your loss. I never met Andy, but his mom told me about him, his brother, and her grandchildren. Carolyn and I met at Madison Central School and our friendship has remained constant over these many years. I was hopeful five years ago that he would be able to beat the big monster in his life. I am devastated that although he fought a valiant battle, as many people do, the monster ended up scoring more points and ultimately won. May all your good memories sustain you during this difficult time. Mary Schumaker Hane

I want to share one of the greatest memories I ever had with my dad - a trip that showed exactly who he was and why time with him was always an adventure.
We started by driving fourteen hours straight to Nashville, and somehow we still had the energy to spend the entire next day exploring the city. We had stayed in Lynchburg and took the jack daniels tour it was impressive and learned a lot about the company and whiskey itself. From there, we kept going, driving through all of Alabama in a single day just so we could stop and tour the USS *Alabama* together - something i had always talked about doing.
Then we made our way to Biloxi, Mississippi. I´ll never forget that stop. A guy at the Hard Rock Casino literally opened the store just to sell us one souvenir glass. Great folks, great place, and Dad ate it up.
Next we rolled into New Orleans. We explored the French Quarter, tried beignets, found real jambalaya, and soaked up the whole atmosphere of the city. Then we headed to Baton Rouge and visited Rally Cap Brewery a baseball themed spot - still one of my favorite breweries to this day, all because I got to share it with him.And then came game day. We woke up at what felt like the middle of the night and slept a few hours in the car just to get the perfect tailgating spot at LSU. We went back and forth to the fan zone, tried an alligator hot dog, saw a fire truck with a whole grill built into the back, checked out the PMAC, and watched one of Lee Corso´s last College GameDay performances. The flyover went right over our heads - a moment we felt in our chests. It poured rain. LSU got crushed. But none of that mattered. We still had one of the best days together.
And on the way back, the adventure kept going. We stopped at the spot where Bonnie and Clyde were killed - Dad always loved pieces of American history like that. Then we headed through Arkansas, stopping in Little Rock to visit the state capitol, because one of our traditions was trying to see as many capitols as we could.
Of course, the drive came with a classic Dad story: we got pulled over by Arkansas state police for staying in the left lane too long. The officer took one look at my LSU gear, realized how badly the Tigers had lost, and was such a big Razorbacks fan that he felt bad for us - so he let us off with just a warning.From there, we went into Memphis and had Central BBQ - an unbelievable spot that became an instant favorite. Then we made our way to Pigeon Forge, drove through the Smoky Mountains, passed through West Virginia, and saw Charleston and Morgantown. We even visited Gettysburg before finally heading home.
It was one long, winding, unforgettable journey - the kind of trip you only take with someone you trust, someone you laugh with, someone who means the world to you.
And that was my dad. No matter where we went, no matter how long the drive, being with him made everything better. Those miles, those meals, those random stops, those jokes - that´s the stuff I´ll carry with me forever.
