Andy was a great guy we will miss him.
Just thank you for always coming and fixing my wiring. He said he wouldnt charge but he'd make his late friend Ronny (Keen) pay for it. (Haha)

Dear Andy's Loved Ones -
We are so sad to hear of Andy's passing. Our hearts break with yours.
I will share a memory:
April and Andy were the first new neighbors we met when we built our house in 4 Lakes back in '04. And Andy installed the electricity when we added on a big back porch a few summers ago.
But I'll never forget the day Andy helped me wrangle my dog who had escaped from the fenced in yard - because someone left the gate open by mistake. My dog didn't know his neighborhood (always contained within our fenced property) so when he noticed the gate was open, before I did, he bolted out of the yard so fast to go investigate all those great smells and sounds that peaked his curiosity while trapped on two fenced in acres he called his yard. He ran as fast as he could down Little Orange Lake Drive directly toward the hard top of Ashley. I just knew he was going to have a bad run in with someone speeding down Ashley heading home from work that afternoon. Andy must have heard me (I'm sure the entire neighborhood did!) as I was running down the road, screaming like a crazy person trying to get him to stop. About that time, Andy was coming down his driveway on his golf cart asking me what was wrong. I could barely breath with all that adrenaline running thru my body, when I stopped to tell him what happened and would he please drive his golf cart into my yard (he likely had no idea why I wanted him to do this and he asked me if I wanted a ride because of all my huffing and puffing, but I declined and just asked him to hurry) and at that moment I screamed to my dog, "We have company, come see!" and right then and there he turned around, seconds from the hard top road, and came running back toward the house. As soon as he saw Andy in the yard, he ran right back inside the gate and into the yard to see what was going on. I motioned for Andy to get out of the yard (again, like a crazy person). Andy drove back outside the gate and I closed it with a mad rush. I thanked Andy repeatedly, but Andy must have thought I was completely insane! I just bet, every time he and April and their dogs drove past our house on their golf cart, I was the story on their lips. Ha!
....Then April was gone. Now Andy. We grieve with you. But I smile when I think about the day my dog got out. I always return to the same thought - Thank God Andy came out to see what all the yelling was about. :-)
With sincere condolences to all who love him.
Rest in Peace, Andy.
