"My father worked with Andy 1984-1986. My father died May 27th 2022. Going through his papers, I came across a beautiful note Andy wrote to my father. The note was warm, insightful, appreciative and caring. I wanted to reach out to Andy to say that my father kept Andy's note all these years only to find out that they died the same month. I know my father appreciated Andy. Rich Wasch in appreciation for Andy's working relationship with Sid Wasch (Bucilla division of Greyhound/ The Dial Corporation)"

"Kermit and I have many wonderful memories of Andy. He hired Kermit at Armour-Dial in Fort Madison in 1972 and helped us arrange to get our new home built. You may remember visiting us here, and your mom cooked us the best roast beef dinner I?ve ever eaten at your home. We truly enjoyed knowing them and even though Andy?s career took him away from this area, we always received a Christmas card every year with family updates. We also visited them in Phoenix a few years ago. A great man who will be missed by many."
