Thoughts and prayers to you, Holly and the family. Andy was a wonderful person. Remember his and your help with Boy Scouts. He was always patient and willing to pass on his knowledge to the Scouts. Always enjoyed his visits to the greenhouses where he and Bill would talk gardening. May God grant him eternal peace.
