Nine years , how I miss you my brother. I miss your wisdom and how you got me to look at something with a better view. I would call upset and you calmed me back down. I see something funny and think Andy would be laughing at that too. I play your favorite music when I need to feel like your spirit is around me. I know God will reunite us some day . I just miss so much, it's hard down here without you. Love you my brother ,little sis.

I miss you brother, eight years I think about you everyday. So many times I wish I could call you to hear your voice , seek your wisdom or just to hear you laugh. You had a great laugh, it is so hard for us left behind. I lost contact with Janie but I hope she is okay. Love you Andy from your little sister.

I think about you often my dear brother and will play your favorite music . I just had a memorial mass said for you , where you and Janie got married. It's so unreal that seven yrs have gone by without you . I love and miss you so much. I think about our childhood days on how we had Sunday dinner and how you hated peas. Don't pass them to Andy ,we would chuckle. It's one of many fond memories of you my wonderful brother. Love, little sis

Oh, how I miss you hearing you laugh and getting advice from you my dear brother. I wish I could have that precious time together back again. I feel robbed I didnt get to even say goodbye and it's hard to believe it's been six years now. My heart aches for you and for Janie missing you so much. Brother , I miss and love you but I know your in heaven no doubt in my mind . God will reunite us one day and I will get to hear you laugh again, and smile. I'm listening to your favorite music Grassroots, Gordon lightfoot, with fond memories.

Andy was a very good friend of mine for many years. When we were young we had many laughs and good times. Unfortunately I was unable to see him for a long time but was hopeful that we would get together again. I was very sad to learn of his passing. He was a very nice and caring person. My condolences to Jane and his family.

So sorry to hear of Andy's passing. He was such a kind person, my kids both thought the world of him. Even though he has not been in our lives for many years now, he would always come up in conversations from time to time. I am sure he would be happy to know Justine has a passion for the "Beatles" because he first introduced her to their music. Sad to know we will not see you again on this earth. Deepest Sympathy. Lynn & Steve Gasco

I am so crushed at the loss of my dear sweet brother Andy. He was more than a brother to me my friend, my strength when we lost mom, I will miss our talks on the phone.
