I was so shocked when I heard the news this morning. I am extremely sorry for your loss. Knew Andy since 6th grade, and it seems like yesterday that we were all in High School.
May God grant you all some sort of peace. Bless you, and know that your loved one will be missed by many.

Kevin and Sharon;

I knew Andy as you know for years , from West Deans Mill Road to the Halloween parties at the house in Delmar. He had a wry smile and always had a twinkle in his eye as he busted on everyone and laughed from the gut. He will be remembered well in my heart and memories. My condolences to his and your whole family in their time of loss. I feel sorry I did not get down and see him over this last summer. Miss you Andy

We are very sorry Andy had to leave, but God knew it was time. He (Andy, not God!) was always a hoot at the Halloween parties. We will remember him fondly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and his family. We hope you find comfort from the huge network of friends and family Andy has.

Love,
