Grandpa Andy was one of the kindest people I have ever known. The love he demonstrated for his wife, children, grandchildren, family and all he met made a deep and lasting impression on those of us lucky enough to have come into his sphere. One of the happiest memories I have of him was the Christmas he and I, as the two surviving grandparents, shopped for a doll for our mutual granddaughter Shannon. We ended up with her little girl dream doll, taller than she was and just too 'booteeful' for words. God speed my dear friend, you will be sorely missed by many, not the least of whom shall be,
Grandma Chris

This was taken at Carol and Andy's 25th Wedding Anniversary. They were always the most fun to be with and having a mock wedding to celebrate their day was just a natural thing to do. Andy was a wonderful husband, father & all around great guy. He will be truly missed. Jill and Mark, I am sorry I cannot be there with you on Monday, but please know I am sending you and your family all the love and sympathy in the world.
