He was a great guy and always had a smile on his face. Always treated everyone with respect and compassion. I had the privilege of being in many of the same classes as him and he did a great impression of one our teachers. During study periods, he let me ride shot gun in his sports car as we went to BK for breakfast sandwhiches. I am thankful for his friendship and he will be missed, but never forgotten..J.G.

Having grown up on the same street, Andrew was a friend of mine from the early years of childhood. We were close though most of school and I have many fond memories of time we spent together. As people went different ways after high school I lost touch but was glad to catch up at the 10 year reunion and I was hoping to do so again at the 20th. I'm deeply saddened by this news, I hope all can find comfort in this time of loss. My thoughts are with you.
