My best memories of Andy was his salsa rueda calling! Boy did he love that!! He danced with anyone and it didn't matter how old! Another memory I will never ever forget is his competitive nature when playing board games. Him sitting on top of all of us to push us down and get us to lose when playing twister still makes me smile. Also, him spending time with us on New Years and birthday celebrations! He would grab different family members and call ruedas (even though they didn't know how to dance salsa!). I will also never forget the halloween he dressed like a skeleton (mask and all). No one could guess who he was and we all had such a great time with people trying to figure out who it was. He had a wonderful night that night. I really wish him peace and I hope you both have peace in your hearts as well knowing that you were wonderful parents. He was proud of both of you and bragged about his teaching parents, helpful dad and his sweet mother! It is painful to lose a loved one but we will be praying that you will have peace in your heart knowing that you did a great job and raised a wonderful son. I wish you all the best and hope we keep in touch.

Josie, Alfonso, and Baby Brooke!

Barb and Al - My heartfelt condolences for you both on the death of your son, Andy, during this very difficult time of grief and healing. I will ask the Grand Rapids Dominicans to put you on their prayer list for the week - I just retired from there and am now a Dominican Associate, living in Grand Rapids. I remember you Barb as a bright and beautiful young girl full of energy and fun. Love, Rosemary Barber-Steers

There are So Very MANY, WONDERFUL Memories, of My Friend Andy: Andy playing a German Folk Song. on his Suzuki (miniature) Violin, to our elderly Austrian neighbors; at our CANADIAN/Lake Huron Cottage; Circa 1984. Andy's competitiveness, in not "liking" losing, at Miniature Golf. His Berkley High School Varsity Jacket; the left side of which, was so OVERLOADED with "WINNER's Metals", in Track and Cross Country, that I often wondered how he didn't "List to the Left". Andy's LOVE for his "Dog Person" (whose name evades me). Of course, MANY precious memories of Andy and His Big Brother, Ommar. I loved that Young Man! He shall be sorely missed!. - Nels Larson
