My deepest sympathy goes out to Andy's family. Andy was my best friend and room mate and I miss him terribly. Andy was the best friend a friend could ever have. He was a brave soldier.

I was deeply saddened to learn of Andy's passing. I enjoyed working with Andy during his time as a security officer for our hotel. I greatly appreciated and respected the professionalism, pride, and care Andy took in his job, but more importantly - I enjoyed his friendship. To his family go my deepest sympathies.
