Sad news. May Andy rest in peace . I never met or talked to him but after reading this thread I'm glad so many of you shared time with him.

Can't stop thinking of Andy.  You guys are some of the best friends a guy can have.  I'm sure his life was better for having known so many of the members here.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

As many have said, I never met Andy either but was very saddened by the news of his passing.
He will be missed by all here I'm sure.   I send my sincerest condolences to his wife, kids & all who had the pleasure to know him.
God bless Andy that he will rest in everlasting peace.

I never met Andy, and have only been part of this board for about a year.  My heart breaks for Andy's family and for all of those out here that lost a great friend.

I'm absolutely in awe at the amount of love that's been floating out here the past week or two.  It blows my mind.  For all the bad things we hear about going on in the world, it's nice to know that this amount of love and compassion still exists.

This really is a special group of people. 

Tonight I'll raise a glass to Andy.

Rest easy Andy, you will be dearly missed and you touched lives of people you didn't even know.  That is the mark of a life well lived.

I'm sorry to hear the sad news.  Although I did not have the pleasure of meeting Andy, it sounds like he touched many lives and will be deeply missed.  My condolences go out to his family.

Every year Andy would send in extra $$ to have a calendar sent to a deserving c-c member, never looking for it to be a big show, that's Andy's way.

We'll surely miss him at Carlisle, but Andy always be here at c-c.com

I got to see Andy on Friday, a few hours before he let go.  I told him I didn't  know of we'd get the car done, but we'd try our hardest.

I turned to leave his room, and saw these on a bookshelf.



Andy cared about us to the point of calling us family. There's not a doubt in my mind that if the roles were reversed for any of us, he'd've been there on our last day, wrenching on our cars.

Carlisle will never be the same, and there will always be a hole in my heart and a knot in my throat when his name comes up. But I'm glad I knew him. I know my family meant as much to him and his did to ours, and I have a lot of fantastic and hilarious memories to look back on.

I met him at Carlisle last year, then got to hang out again at the Nats. I just remembered him as I saw him last. Looked like he was going to recover.
He always made me laugh when he would quote my greeting to the Cuda-Challenger tent with "what's up B!tches?", he didn't know what to think of me.

I hadn't kept up with the threads to see that he went down hill, then we lost him.

My brother is going through this same type of thing now.

Will miss you in Carlisle Andy!
