i didn't know Andy that much, but had his girls on my bus for high school. Saw him one time in animal jungle, he had that little monkey on his shoulder, we talk for a while , about the monkey and his children. He was very proud of his children. He will surely be missed, but remember he is looking down watching, and when you met again, he will be telling you some great stories. My prayers to you and your family. Lori Hagler bus 36

I've never seen Andy without a smile on his face. Even when things weren't going quite right he always put forth a positive attitude. I looked forward to Fridays when I used to cash his paychecks because Andy would stay and talk about anything under the sun. I looked forward to those conversations. I've missed them since I transferred out of the bank branch. I know Andy is on a great bike ride and I look forward to seeing him and having a conversation someday.
