Andy and I (plus his siblings) grew up together - lived about a block apart. While not close in recent times, many good memories of the family in general and Andy in particulair. Also remember Bob Luckett - he passed away the same day as my Dad - 2/18/77. My condolences to all. May Andy be in a better place.

Broken Chain: We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. I love you and miss you so very much. R.I.P. my precious brother.
