"Andy-O" as you were so fondly referred to as. For nine years I have known you. You're truly one of a kind. You had a profound affect on me both personally and professionally. As president Sullivan said, you're dedication to the college and maintenance facilities was incredible. My department (Security) would call you for something and you never said "NO". My heart goes out to the family. Gone too soon! I will never forget you!

There are no words to express how everyone feels knowing that such a wonderful, hardworking, loveable person like Andy O could just be gone. He was everyone's friend, and would do anything for anyone. The world seems a little bit darker because a good friend is gone. My sympathy to all of his family. Andy O this jack and ginger is for you. Love Carrie from Juniors.

Andy, a true friend, co-worker, an inspiration. Your humor and good intent, always a blessing. Your knowledge for large and small tasks effective and creative. Your innocent sarcasm, enlightening, because it was you. You will be missed, your memory treasured. Your assistance constructed my endurance. Thank-you for being my friend.
