My heart aches in the passing of Andy. He was truly one of a kind that will be missed. Andy defined being a kind friend to many and shared his ardent passions with all that he cherished. Andy always spoke fondly of his fishing trips with his sons. His stories and experiences will be missed. His character and strengths were imbued in his three sons to continue his legacy. - Posted by: Tracey Gledhill (Friend of the family) on: Oct 22, 2022
