7 years...you remain ever present in my mind, heart , and soul. You continue to impact my life on a daily basis, from the many lessons you taught me, to the way you always believed in me even when I didn't believe in myself.
The love that you gave me during our short time together was enough to last me a lifetime, which is a blessing that I am truly grateful for! I just miss you so much. I will always try to look for the bright spots on this dark day and today you are it, forever my always. #727

Andy,

I would give anything to go back in time and take your place so that your family and this awful world would still have the joy and privilege of having you in it. It was my honor and privilege to serve with and know you, and the members of the 111th Basic Session. From Iraq to our Commonwealth, and numerous places in between, I have never known a finer group of warriors.

I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

I never met you, Sir, but I have heard so many wonderful stories about you. I got to know your beautiful wife, Ginny, shortly after you were taken from her. We share a very similar past and my heart immediately broke for her. I hope I have helped her heal in some small way. Please send strength today to all those you left behind and may memories of you bring them comfort, today and always.

We will never forget.

To the Fox family, I worked with Andrew. Dad, Mom, siblings, thank you for your job in raising an outstanding human being. Thank you for installing the values and honor in this great human being that I hold as a measuring stick for new troopers. Thank you Ginny for sharing him with us every day he marked on duty. Be proud in the fact that he was the happiest and most confident man I've ever met. He knows that you would have loved him as much if he was President Fox, Trooper Fox, or ditch digger Fox. I hope your grief has lessened over the years. But rest assured he has not been forgotten. I think of him every day. I'm always here for you all. There are people on this earth that can live 100 years and not have the love and support you gave him in his short time. I know if he could have made it to 100, he would have given it up for the years with you Ginny without hesitation. This earth cannot hold the memorial that is fitting for a man like Andrew. If I live to be 100, or 1 second, I look forward to seeing my friend again.

But as a trooper does - we still walk the walk that few choose to do. While you are at rest in heaven's splendor, we still fight the good fight here below. You are my friend!

I remember the first and only time that I had to honor of meeting Trooper Fox. I was in the academy, and Trooper Fox had pulled over on 81 near the Pulaski exit to assist us change a tire on a patrol vehicle. He recommended to me to buy a nice floor jack to carry in my truck, so when I helped people change tires, it would be a lot easier. I bought one before I started my job, and have used it twice, on my patrol car. Thank you Trooper Fox for the advice.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, and you're family. You are greatly missed. Thank you very much for your service, and sacrifice.
