  1. yo, you people doing the bickering and smart-assing, rise up out of your low self esteem, and your self loathing and try to keep your comments appropriate.  i’ve known andy since the day he was born and as a youngster he was/is friends with my oldest son and took many a meal with us.  andy has a lot of friends and family who are alive and would be hurt terribly to read your backbiting and other miserable comments.  sweet, thoughtful remarks welcome…….

    1. I have also known Andy for many, many years and he was my brother’s best friend. Thank you for posting this and I hope that people will be kind and not post any inappropriate comments. We all loved Andy very much and he will be greatly missed.

  2. This is so tragic.  I have known Andy for about 15 years.  I have not seen him in about 10.  I have so many great memories and great moments of laughter, involving Andy.  My prayers are with Andy’s children, family and friends.  Heaven just got a bit m0re humor….
