"I am so sorry for your loss of Andy. I had the pleasure to work with Andy in the bakery and he was so thoughtful of how you felt and he would do anything he could to help you out. He was very smart and could tell you anything you wanted to know about what was going on in the news. He loved going to the movies and how much joy that gave him. He always talked about his family and you could see how much he enjoyed being with people he cared about. I will miss him deeply and I will always keep him in my prayers."

"I was so sadden this a.m when reading the paper and saw Andy's obitutary, wasn't positive it was the Andy I knew till I came to this site. I woked with Andy for 5 yrs, in the Deli @ Publix's. He always said I was his "favorite girl", I think he had a few favorites! & how much we associates were like family to him. His Christmas cards each year really gave me a boost.I am not at Publix's any longer so was shocked to see the notice, it seems only recently that I saw him. My prayers go to his family. If only we all had the same outlook on life as Andy did, the world would be a better place. I was so lucky to have known Andy. He will always have a place in my heart."
