I wanted to express my heartfelt condolences to all of Andrew’s family. Death is the hardest thing we have to deal with in life. I know my words can’t change anything and can do little to ease the pain you are feeling, so I pray that the God of comfort calm your hearts and help you heal. (2 Thessalonians 2:16,17) Lean on Him in the days to follow. One way that God comforts us today is by moving people who care about us to give us words of encouragement that we need to hear.

Sandy & family, i am so sorry to hear of Andy's passing. He has been a dear friend of mine for the last 20 years. He was such a kind & caring sole. Never forget the times at the gas station with the regular coffee group; he would always have everyone laughing. My daily walk at the park; I would always run into him working there. When the brush debris & gravel sat for too long on the street, I would just call Andy & he would have it taken care of right away. Also when i locked my keys in my car and he was able to break into it for me. And of course; cant forget when we were all at Barbados. What a great time we had. What a great guy who was loved by all. Green Twp. will not be the same without him.. My heart goes out to you all xoxo
