I met Andre back in the late 80's. He had always remained the same. A very respectable and caring person. Humble and quiet may even some it up better. My heart goes out to his wife and entire family. Let his work speak for what he has done. For when he drove through the streets of Savannah, we knew that we would be safe. So sleep on my brother and take your rest. We love you but God loves you best. May your soul rest in peace. Love always Maisha and family.
