Andrew’s proudest moment was when his daughter Cassandra was born, he was never happier than when he was with her.
Andrew will be most remembered for his big personality, big heart, and love of animals especially his dogs.
Like a shadow in the moonlight
Like the whisper of the seas
Like the echoes of a melody
Just beyond our reach
In the shadow of our sorrow
Past the whisper of goodbye
Love shines through eternity
A heartbeat from our eye
