I remember Andy and his brother Danny from at least as far back as middle school. My condolences to Dan and his family.

Andrew- I can't believe you are gone. You were the best trial partner. I was always so comfortable with you and loved working with you. You were also a great friend. I loved our conversations about everything from politics to our travels. You were an incredible person and I will truly miss you so much.

Jenna- your Dad talked about you all of the time. He was so proud of you.

Dear Andrew, you will truly be missed! It is so heartbreaking to know you had to endure so much so young. I am so glad I got to know you and enjoyed all the times you were able to attend and assist with outreach events. Thank you for always being such a caring person and I know you would do anything for anyone to help them out ! I know you are at peace now and free of all your pain! Fly high Andrew

To Andrew´s family and friends I hope you find peace and comfort knowing he is no longer suffering and is in a much better place. As the obituary stated about his daughter Jenna, he was very proud of her and each time I spoke with him he always spoke to her accomplishments and how proud he was. Sending prayers up for all

Thank you his military and post military friends that put this beautiful story of his life together. He loved you all. He took such great joy seeing others happy even when he was in such pain. I´m very proud he never gave up and fought till God decided it was time to go home.
