Our prayers are never ending to the family,friends, and to everyone Andy's love of the Lord touched. He gave in times when were least expected (just because as he would say (I love you more!) All during these last Holidays he went around doing and giving love and help to others just to meet thier needs unselfeshly without a care about himself. Our family has been deeply saddened by this loss, but will continue to carry the blessings of his memory in our hearts. Our live has been enriched watching him love his children and others so completely. Everytime Daniel catches a wave he will more than likely hear Andy's voice of encouragement to him as "MoonDoggie"and I will always enjoy the Chicken and red sauce in a special way. Blondie,Helen and family we will always keep Andy alive til we join him one day

It is ironic that the man with the biggest heart I know has fallen from heart disease. I know he is at peace with the Lord.
