As a proud father, he would never miss a chance to attend one of J.P.’s many sporting events...the kids got game. For those who knew him, there was never a dull moment. Andy kept us on our toes and in a constant state of laughter. His smile was infectious. Andy loved country music, skiing and loved being at the lake house. He was humble and generous. Andy had amazing stories based on amazing life experience. Andy packed 100 years of life into a 47 year time frame. The logo on Andy's favorite t-shirt described him perfectly; he will always be "The Legend”.
