I was heart=broken to hear of the passing of Andy. We were next door neighbors and shared many great memories growing up in Two Rivers. He was always there when needed. His presence during the loss of my brother in 1970 was very helpful in my grief. My thoughts and prayers to his family during this time.

We were very close friends as boys. The Richards, the Mitchells, and the Taddys, all a stones throw from each other. Andy's Dad always called me "Nick the Greek", an endearing term. I'll always remember him fondly. So sorry for the family's loss. He's run the race to the finish, and he's a winner. Praise God!
