When we first met, I was taking a college alegebra class that I was failing miserably. Andy sat right behind me at the time and listened to my daily struggles as I attempted to learn this stuff. One day he turned around and told me that he may be able to help. Needless to say I passed that class and the one after it. He was always willing, no matter what to help me. He never got mad or lost his patience when I didn't get it. Andy was truly one of the kindest men I have ever come to know. I am proud and honored to have counted him as my friend. Rest well my friend, I hope you are finally at peace.
