Miss you Andy. I remember from time to time you stopped and bought pies from the old lady who sold them along the roadside.... then sat in the patrol room and ate the whole pie!

Yeah. Guess I'm still a little raw. Snotting and crying all over myself thinking of you. Still love and miss you. Life's changed a lot. Kyle has become quite a hunter and Kate has two little girls. Mikey and Matty are seniors now. Hope you are doing well.

I will never forget the time I met you. You were sitting on one side of the bar flap and I was on the other. It was a beautiful autumn day...
*You never touched your beer. You said to the bar tender, "I am just not that thirsty today."
Who would of ever thought that a stranger changed my life. I didn't know who you were until your death hit the news.
Thank you for your honor, integrity, and courage to make a difference in lives.
I saw you one time after that day and you tipped your hat.
What a true gentlemen!
