Though I met Andrew later in his life, he was selflessly gracious with his time and shared with me his wonderful career and life experiences, and will be missed.

We will always remember how kind Uncle Andrew and Aunt Ellen were to us during the time we lived in Arlington. We will remember him in our prayers.
