I have very fond memories of Andrew. I watched for his mail car every morning from my grandparents driveway. He gave me chewing gum or candy every morning! Now, I'm 43 and have 3 kids of my own. Just last year, my son and I were getting gas at a store he was at and there were men using bad languge. Andrew spoke up and said, "Hey fellas, watch your mouth, there's a lady and she also has her son in the car." And those men appologized. I thanked him and I just thought to myself....what a wonderful man. He was a true gentleman. May God be with you and your family during this difficult time.

My memory of Andrew comes from when I was just a little girl, he was the mailman that came by my grandparents house (Earlie Morning & Mazell Lail) I waited anxiously for him to deliver the mail because he always delivered the mail to my grandparents and to me he delivered candy!!! He was a true gem here on this Earth! He will be truly missed!!! Rest in peace Andrew, I will see you on the other side!!! Sharon Ward Brackett
