The world has lost one of its best and Andy is on his way home with God. One of the best guys, friend, and family man and husband. Andy lived for his kids and grandkids and took so much pleasure in them. He was the best man at our wedding in 1994 and forever the best man in our hearts. RIP our dear friend, you will be forever missed.
Love,
Liz, Bill & Carl

To my cousin Andy who was more than that to me. He was my best friend and big brother who had the ability to make me laugh and forget any problems I may have had. His kindness spoke volumes of his character as a person who cared for everyone that was his friend.
I am grateful for Andy allowing me to be his friend and big brother. My life will not be the same without him just like everyone else who loved him.
Always with Love,
Your Little Freddie 💔

My daddy, my first love, my hero. My heart just aches knowing that I don’t have you around anymore. You always prepared me that this day would come and here it is and I’m so lost without you. You never hesitated when it came to helping your family and friends and would give your shirt of your back to just about anyone. Andreya misses her papa and is comforted knowing you’re now her guardian angel. You always said ‘when my numbers up, my numbers up’ and you weren’t afraid to die. You haven’t died though, earth is temporary, you are now in the most beautiful place ever surrounded by family and friends whom you love. Until we meet again, forever in my heart. I love you daddy. 🥺

Words can not describe the pain and sense of loss that is upon us since your Passing. You were a friend for the ages. Your presence was constant over the miles, and you always had a way of reaching out to all at just the right time. God has shared a great man with us whose caring loving manner was felt by so many. It is just a matter of time before Andy will reach out to us to let us know he is in the most wonderful place and is preparing a place for us all when our time comes. Goodbye my friend thanks for always thinking of others before yourself. You are 1 in a million.

I know it has been more than a year since your death Papa but I have been thinking about you so much. You are one of my favorite people ever and will always be. You never failed to have fun times with me. From going out to eat and going to the pool, you were the person I was closest with. You were very sick and I hope you are doing better. You may have left us but there’s a special place in my heart for you that will remain forever. For now, I wish you the best and I hope you’re enjoying your time wherever you are. Until we meet again, your favorite granddaughter, Andreya. ❤️
