God couldn't bear to see you suffer any longer my dear friend. You are now at peace with the Lord and your precious Mom. I will treasure the many chats we had and your warrior spirit always amazed me. Life threw so many obstacles in your path throughout your lifetime, and you always dug deep and marched through with quiet determination. You always found a way to make do with what you had. My prayers go out to your devoted wife Jane who has been steadfast in her love and support over the past several months as you went through more than any human should have to endure. My prayers are also with your family that you loved fiercely..your passing has left huge holes in all of their hearts. You were always bigger than life and the life of the party! Oh how you loved a good party! I cried often for you while you suffered my friend..and now I am thankful that God has you in His care and you suffer no more! I will miss your kind spirit,gentle smile and your booming laugh..Till we can chat again..Love you kiddo! I was so blessed to have known you for over 50 years..God's Peace Andy..God's Peace..
