I had the pleasure to work with Andy when he joined the HOERBIGER team. Andy and I worked together as IEP integrated into the HOERBIGER way. His humor and his deep baritone voice always made me smile in every phone call.

My deepest condolences to Andy's family. He will be missed.

Dear Lori, Stacy and Andrew,
I am so sorry for your loss. Andy was so loved by so many, and will be sorely missed.
What I love is the fact that you had so many wonderful memories that you shared. Believe me when I tell you, that there is nothing better then that.
As friends, I am happy that I have some of the same memories, from so many days of riding.
My life has been enriched 10 fold for knowing each of you.
God bless each of you and may he give you what you need to get through this most difficult time.
I am going to miss his laughter and his wit, but will carry the memories throughout my lifetime.
May God Bless all of you.
