Andrew we haven’t seen each other in a while.but I remember your quiet spirit and your sweet grin. My last memory is when we were at a family gathering and we shared a couch waiting for the food. We had a good visit and a good meal. Will miss seeing you but you will always be in our hearts. Aunt Shirley
To my dear friend Andrew, I still can’t quite believe you’re gone. You were such a remarkable friend to me, and I’m so glad we got to know each other. I’m going to miss your sense of humor, your infectious laugh, and how much fun it always was to have you around. You had a heart of absolute gold. I’ll never forget how Lola’s tail would wag at lightning speed the second she saw you, or how much you loved her right back. She knew, just like I did, how truly special you were. Thank you for the wonderful times we spent together and for a friendship I will treasure for the rest of my life. You are loved, you are remembered, and you will be sadly missed every single day. My condolences to the family.
My condolences to the family...Andrew will be missed by everyone you loved him..
Andrew, whom i affectionately named Tigger one day when he was being Eeyore-ish, was working late with Armando assembling some parts. I stopped by around 9pm to make sure they were ok. They didn't hear me come in, because they were energetically engaged in conversation, so i laid my chin on the tool box and waited. About 5 or 6 minutes later, Tigger screams and jumps off of the chair when he realized that a face was watching them. Apparently, they had been talking about ghosts before i arrived. Another time, i asked him to do some task and he said "whatever, you're just gonna make me do it anyway". I said that he didn't have to do it if he didn't want to, i would do it instead. He said " it's ok, I'll do it". I guess he just wanted to know that he had a choice.
Andrew i will always remember at work when we would go to lunch everyday walk around the building hoping we wouldn't get kidnapped by the homeless in the back buildings lol oh an the gem show when we were 2 broke to buy anything fun times im gonna miss you may u RIP till me meet again
