Your buddies from the Stix softball team will miss you dearly Andy. He was a true competitor in between the lines, a great guy outside the lines. So grateful we got to visit with him at the hall recently. God Speed Andy.

I pray the Lord gives you peace and comfort in knowing that Andy is not suffering any longer, and that he is at rest with his heavenly father. Knowing the Lord Jesus is our savior, we can rest assured that we will all be together again in eternity.
We shared some good times together. Our years at Sprint were very good. Talking baseball, football, business stuff, we were always good friends. Even though I did not see him through the years, we could always catch up like time had not passed us by. That was the way Andy was to everybody. I pray for the comfort of your family during this time of loss. Our friend Andy will be missed by many.
One of the things I appreciated most about Andy was his enthusiasm and passion for sports, and I had the opportunity to attend more games with him than I can remember. It was always an enjoyable experience to do so and along the way we shared so many great memories together! I also loved his competitive nature which was always on display whenever we bowled or played softball. But what I admired most about Andy were the traits he demonstrated from the time we first met – his dedication to his career, his devotion to his family and his generosity to others. I truly regret that our paths failed to cross as much over the past several years, because I will miss my friend. I offer my thoughts, prayers and love to Susie and the rest of Andy’s family – I’m so very sorry for your loss…
