So sorry for your loss Trudy family and friends. Andy was a good friend to us since we moved to the Lake 6 yrs ago. He always had a sense of humor and made us laugh and gave great advice. We loved visiting and having those wonderful gourmet holiday meals with you when we had no family in town. You always made us feel welcome and made sure we had company around the holidays. We always admired your workmanship and craftsmanship in woodworking. We love you and will miss you.
