A dear friend that we have known ever since coming to Pocasset. So many memories over the years in our little close knit neighborhood. Usually Andy was cooking up dinner and Sheila was doing desert and what ever needed to be done , both were great at entertaining! There was always lots of laughing.
Andy was very involved in the community as well; meals on wheels and all the functions at our church, SJTE. He will be dearly missed by all and we are sure he has a special place in heaven with all those he helped and supported through the years.
Our condolences to all his family and friends. We love you Andy and will never forget your
