The one thing I remember the most is Andy's special pancakes... I remember them from my childhood, and Uncle Andy would never give up that recipe.. No one can make them like him.. I miss him and Aunt Carol always bickering, but you could tell that it was all in fun. The world lost a great man when Uncle Andy left us. He was a wonderful husband, father, grandpa, uncle, and more, but he was definately a great friend to all. He will be remembered always with that enlighting smile he had on his face everytime someone seen him! Hope you are getting some biscuits and gravy in Heaven.. I am sure its better than Bob Evans. We miss you everyday Uncle Andy.. and we are always loving YOU!!!

You were a great host and we were always made to feel welcome whenever we visited. You were only too happy to make us one of your many delicious breakfasts and show us the nearby sites. Your phrase of "Do I know you?" will be forever remembered. We were blessed to "know you" and now you are at peace. Until we meet again -- with love, Dee & Larry
