I met Andy at May Goodrell Junior High School. He was part of our crowd. Many years later, my youngest son, Joey, worked for Aaron (Andy's son) at Breadeaux Pizza. Joey loved working for and with Aaron. From what Joey told me....he and Aaron shared many laughs and good times both during business hours and after closing time. Aaron must have inherited Andy's crazy sense of humor (as Bill McElree said). I loved getting Andy's jokes in my hotmail account. He will be GREATLY MISSED. Our love and prayers go out to you, Aaron, Brandy, Peggy and Family. Andy was a SPECIAL SOUL....MAY HE REST IN PEACE.

I haven't seen Andy since 1965, but I have never forgotten how he made me laugh. He was a special soul and I was really looking forward to seeing him at our class reunion. His smile was so contagious. Thank you for your service to our country, Andy. Semper Fi.
