Andy it has been a time since we spoke and I always had hoped to be here when you needed me. I wonder now who will keep Charlie in line. You were a good friend and will be missed by us all. I will see you again in the next life. Until then keep living it up and enjoy the good times and watch over your family.

I will always remember Andy as an energetic, fun-loving guy. He has been an excellent mentor to several junior high and high school students interested in aviation. He worked so hard during the aviation camps and had so much fun. He was a great co-worker and taught me a lot. Everyone misses him so much.

I worked with Andy at both the FAA Academy and at Salt Lake Center. His positive attitude and energy affected all those around him. Andy excelled as an instructor, and had a gift of making even the dryest subject interesting. Always ready with a story to tell, and a laugh to go along with it. Everyone loved having Andy on their instructor team. He will be missed by all who had the good forture of knowing him.

Andy was my very best friend at work at Salt Lake ARTCC. We had coffee together every time we worked and shared stories of our lives. It will be impossible for me to hear bagpipes and not think of Andy since he was learning them and often played them outside of the center. Andy was a friend to everyone and it's so very hard to believe he's gone.
