Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I see you and your buck every day on my down way to the locker room... A reminder to treat everyone with decency no matter how bad a person they are... the way you did. I miss you Brother.

We were again blessed to spend some time with your family. They mean the world to us. Rest in peace Andy. You will never be forgotten by our family and we will do whatever we can to keep your memory alive.

Andy, you were so loved by so many people. You will be missed by everyone who was part of your life. May you rest in peace.

Andy- we know that Sue and the girls were the best thing that ever happened to you. We know how happy they all made you. We also know that you planned to marry and have children of your own together. We wish we could take her pain away. She lost the love of her life and the girls lost an incredible role model. God bless all of you.

Andy- thanks for the great weather today. You are never far from our minds. Rest in Peace.

When does the violence end against our NYS Troopers? You must have been looking down on both of them.

Had a long drive back from Rouses Point on Sunday...so many memories bouncing around in my head. The gathering of family was very soothing to me while I wondered why you were not there with us. Caleb would make you so proud to be his Uncle...what an outdoorsman he will make. Watching Matthew and Josh catch all their fish was the highlight of my trip and I described to the boys some of our adventures together. I can only imagine how much more fun the trips up there would be with my best friend. Miss you, brother.

Andy- thanks for sending us some great weather yesterday. Your dad said that we would have beautiful weather sent by you and he was right. We enjoyed the day at the park and enjoy taking the ride down with the kids whenever we get the chance. We will never forget about you, Sue and the girls or your family. We are doing our best to take care of all of them. God Bless all of you.

Andy was a great guy, though I didn't get to see him much, he was a good friend to my family. I miss him a lot and hope a lot of the time that he'll just walk through the door, though I know he never will. I know a lot of people have moved on and may not think of Andy as much as they use to, but I constantly see things that remind me every day of him. My father was friends with him and has the same job and sometimes I fear that he may not come back to me one day like Andy didn't come back to us. I pray every day for every trooper in the world hoping they make it back to their family at the end of the day. It takes a lot of strength and courage to do the job they all have when they all know the risks first hand.

I want to thank every Trooper that puts his or her life on the line to keep everyone else safe, and I'll always pray for those that have given they're life to save ours.

Andy- we are thinking of you today and always. You are never far from our minds. Your death never seems to get any easier to accept. We got to hang out with our second family last weekend. They are all so great! Your nephew AJ is getting so big. It's hard to believe that he is walking already! And Maddie Sue is just a beauty! You would have just loved both of them. We know that they will grow up hearing all about their uncle and what a great guy he was. You are our hero Andy, and heroes never die, they live forever. Say Hi to Dad for us. It doesn't get any easier.

Happy 4th Andy. I wish you were here. The girls and I miss you so much. Anna made up a song about you. It was very sweet. I dont understand why you are gone. People say God needed you. I dont know, but there are a lot of people here that needed you also. You sure are missed. I think of you every day and wish you were here. I wish there was something I could have done different that day to change the outcome. I think of that last phone call and wish that I had said I love you. we always ended our phone calls with those words but not that time. I Love You

AJ: I was in Horseheads today and I went to visit the park. It was the first time since you were shot that I could actually go there. The park is so nice, you would love it. There were a few families fishing in the lake. I actually wish that park didn't exist. That would mean you would still be here. I miss talking to you about the old times. Take care buddy.

Andy, thinking of you today as always. I'm also remembering how special your last birthday was. It's a very special memory for me. You'll never be forgotten.

June 21, 2007

Andy- we just got back from your park. It's so beautiful there and so peaceful. It's hard to believe something so horrible happened there. We got to enjoy your families company and Chris brought your dog, K-9 Sperr. We are sure you would have just loved him.

My Andrew now thinks that he is named after you. He asks questions about that day so often. How do you explain to a 7 year old what happened, when we as adults can barely understand it. Everyone's lives have changed so much. So many hopes and dreams for the future were shattered on the day that you were killed. It's Father's Day today and we can't help but think that maybe you would have been celebrating it as a father yourself with Sue. You left so many amazing and wonderful people behind. We know their grief is still so much there. We wish we could take their pain away, but ours is still there also. Take care of Dad up there and wish him a Happy Father's Day for us. God Bless you Andy.

I don't know how to do this without you. When does it get easier? Everything reminds me of you. Life seems pretty empty without you. Please give me strength to get through. I miss you and love you.

Andy- we just got back from DC on Wednesday. We were so blessed that we could be there to show support for your entire family and the New York State Police. They are truly a blessing to us and we love them all. You would be so proud of Paul, Chris and Mike for undertaking the construction of your memorial park. It's an amazing site! Every time we are there, we know you are looking down on us smiling. Truly a labor of love and what you meant to so many people whose lives you touched.
Our family is forever changed from the events of March 1st and none of us will ever be the same. We have all tried to get back to "normal". But what is "normal"? I cry all of the time and think about what you went through on that day. Watching your family and Sue go through this has been extremely difficult on all of us. We never know what to say to them, all we can do now is to be there for them FOREVER, as they are now part of our family. It has been a long journey towards the healing process and I know it will continue to be. George thought you were one of the best and enjoyed working construction details with you. We will never forget the 10 years of your life you dedicated to service with the NYSP.
