Andy's nickname was Gigs. That's what we all called him in those days. I hope the following message is some comfort to the family. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal. May your memories last longer than your heartache.

People enter our lives & leave footprints that leave everlasting impressions. There is a great sense of loss & sorrow in times like these. But, there only could be a lot of sorrow unless there was a lot of happiness. May God's grace be upon his friends & family, as I hope that every time you remember him, a smile and chuckle will complement your memory, as it will for me.......
