Andy was employed by my dads small plumbing company for many years,while I was growing up.All those year he was more than employee he was a close family friend, and I considered him my uncle as much as I would my real uncles.I am now a plumber myself and consider Andy as one of the best mentors I've had over the years.His attitude towards life, his sense of humor,and genuine caring demeanor, taught me just as much in life as his skill as a plumber had. I can remember many laughs,and teasing back and forth, as he was a BIG tease. I will miss your big smile and welcoming attitude Andy, you have left a good legacy. Rest in peace my friend. - Posted by: Allan Borsboom (Friend) on: Mar 29, 2014

Pepere, I miss you already and you've only been gone three days. I wish I would have had the chance to say goodbye to you. You left this earth too sudden, but I know you are in a safe place and you are now rejoined with memere. Please watch down over us and keep us safe. I will always remember the good times we had together. The golfing trips we took every weekend, the bowling nights we would have together, the movies we would watch and the puzzles we would build. I will miss that, but I will never forget. I love you and I miss you dearly. Ashle xoxoxoxoxo - Posted by: Ashlee Nadeau (Grand-daughter) on: Mar 27, 2014
