Susan, Brad, Justin, Ashley, Marisa, and the three "E's": Each of you are in my thoughts and prayers. I share your grief from a different perspective. I was married to a dialysis survivor, kidney recipient, and friend of Andy's who passed away over four years ago. So I know our grief is different but shared. Last night, a brilliant sunset happened over Emerald Isle. That sunset signified Andy's passing to me He is no longer suffering. Andy loved each of you and I know each of you have a special place in your heart for Andy. Embrace these wonderful memories. They will help you process your grief. Please. Contact me if I can help you in any way. Much love, Grey

Susan and children, I was shocked and saddened to hear of Andy passing.I have many memories of working on the white mustang and then the (yellow) 69 blue mustang- he just had to paint it the same color blue as my 31 model A.He always put a smile on my face whenever I would see him and he would always come up with something else he wanted to do with those mustangs,He loved his wife cause he always talked about you, and he always asked about my wife Janet.He always talked about his kids- then the mustangs, then a little bit about work.Man he was was one hella of a guy!!It has been awhile since I had seen him but I thought of him often,saw Bill the other day and thought I need to go over to your house and holler at Andy. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Doug Belter Appomattox
