Sheila, there are no words that can express the depth of sorrow I feel for your loss.
May you and your family find some level of peace with the wonderful memories that you have of Andy.
Thinking back on my childhood memories, Andy and Joe were always apart of what was going on. From the late night excursions around Woolley to the calm and peaceful times just kicking back and enjoying some of his dad’s wine.
Andy was a good friend, genuine.
I’m so heartbroken I can’t be articulate but I will list the things I knew of Andy for sure. Andy was the kindest individual you could meet. He was sardonic and quick with words. He was private. He was a fiercely loving father. He was devoted to his mother. He knew how to love quietly and with passion. He loved a good dump run, rum & coke, time on the islands, and he would read books like they were going out of style if he had the time. I will never forget him.
My heart goes out to you Joe and your family. Lots of fond memories rising our bikes around town as kids and roaming the halls of SWHS. I’m sorry I can’t make the services. Hugs sent your way. ❤️❤️
Sheila in joe and family I’m so sorry for your loss I was lucky to know Andy when I was young I’m very blessed to be able to get to see him recently you’re all in my prayers and thoughts such a wonderful person. I love you Sheila please let me know if there’s anything I can do
