Andrew will be truly missed by many ... always willing to stop and help out. He took such pride in the "snack shop" and we all loved his sense of fashion and decor. I will miss our little conversations about the flowers at his desk and his friendly personality. My condolences to the family and friends who loved him.

I never met Andrew, but through the miracles of modern technology, I would say that he became a very close friend. I am so very broken hearted for the loss of a wonderful friend. He was, without a doubt, one of the most wonderful person that had crossed my path. To his family, I send love and hugs. I will be thinking of you. xo
