I am a cousin of Andy's from Amboy WA. His mother, Mae and my dad Dale Winchell were brother and sister. I moved from the mid-west in the 1980's and don't go back to Iowa very often. Andy was a special cousin of mine dispite our age difference. I have very fond memories of him espically at my dad's funeral. He consoled and comforted me to help ease my pain. Your loss is hard to measure. I too have experienced sudden death and the pain and questions associated with it. May you be blessed to help ease your pain.
Sincerely,
Betty Mae Winchell, Poundstone.

Please know how sorry I am to learn of Andy's passing. I always enjoyed visiting with him at grain seminars. One time about thirty years ago, there at a seminar in Kansas City, were Andy and FGIS employee Dean Wolfe, took me under their wing. It certainly relieved my parents knowing that I was in good hands so far away from home. Andy was so kind and polite and I would would always look for him to sit by at grain meetings. I hope that you all can find comfort in knowing how respected he was in this business. Sincerely, Jill Bielema, John R. McCrea Agency, Inc.

FRIENDSHIP is a lifelong gift and my heart has been aching for my friend and her family since this tragic loss. Angie & I have been friends since we were little girls growing up together on the north side of town in Iowa Falls. We started kindergarten together and our Moms played bridge together which had perks-we got to play while they had their card party & eat the yummy food! Angies Dad was a great man and would have given the shirt off his back to help someone. One time at their house I left my old ugly green bike handed down from my two older brothers in the driveway and Andy accidentally ran it over. But instead of getting upset with me, he took me uptown and bought me a BRAND NEW shiny purple bike with a flowered seatI will never ever forget it and that it was probably the only brand new bike I ever had! I will also add that from campouts to sleepovers to whatever we GIRLS were intowe knew very clearly when we were in trouble by Andys expression or his voice! I know your hearts are broken and your minds uneasy, but I hope my sharing will help you remember to focus on the good times and what a blessing your Dad was in your lives. All my love, thoughts & prayers and may God be with you all in this most difficult timeCindy (Neubauer) Stuve
