So sorry to learn of Andrew's death. His children were my students. I remember one time when a grave had not been dug for a funeral on a Sunday and I had the idea of going out and getting people to dig it. Andrew instructed me, it was not a good idea, as it was likely the dirt would collapse on us as we dug. For some reason, this memory has stuck with me over the years. May Aaron and Lauren and the entire family find comfort in their memories of Andrew.

Very sorry to hear of Andy's passing. He was a good guy and a very interesting person.
Got to know him when we worked together at Chester Engineers. Rest in peace.
