I feel that Andy was one of the few universally loved people. I have never had a bad word to say about him. He has always struck me as kind, patient, and loving. He was such a dedicated father, really ahead of his time. He will also remain the only person I've met who can truly rock a Speedo and a mustache. We are all blessed to know him. I consider myself lucky to have him as one of the parental figures helping me grow. All the love to Andy and all the love to the whole family now and always.

To Val and the rest of your family, I was so sorry to hear of Andy's passing.  I so enjoyed sharing Thanksgivings and Christmases with all of you.  We will all miss being with him this year but I am sure he will be looking down at us, smiling, and enjoying his pain free new heavenly home.  All of you try to take solace and comfort in knowing that he is free of all of his pain and worries .  May God's love give all of you comfort, love, and joy in that knowledge and your memories of the good times that you shared with him.

To Val, Jenny, Sarah, Jason and their families,
I know you know, but Andy was one of the warmest, friendliest, most easy-going guys out there.    It has been a blessing for us to share Christmas Eves with him.  Always looked forward to his stories and his humor.  He will be missed.  You're all in our prayers,

I met Andy in 1976, soon after I started at Project Enlightenment, thanks to Val. Andy, like Val, is someone who immediately became a fast friend and remained one. Whether I had seen Andy the day before or not for years (as thanks to Covid was to have been the case later this month), it was always as if no time had passed except that there was some catching up to do.

Andy was accepting, caring, generous, and a deeply engaged husband, father, and grandfather. He was a gracious host and someone who would share the shirt off his back. He was also a giant (literally) at volley ball in the park.

Though we left Raleigh 33 years ago, whenever we returned to NC and had the chance to visit with the Wilsons, it was like coming home again. Our daughter Kathryn grew up with Sarah and Jason (along with big sister Jenny), and I feel like Andy was part of our extended family.

My heart goes out to Val, Jenny, Sarah, and Jason and their families. Andy’s death is a loss to all. I know when we see Val and Andy is not by her side, it will become real. Thank you, Andy, for your friendship.

To Val and the Wilson family: 
It has been a true joy to know Andy. He always had a smile and a hug or hand shake whenever I saw him.  He will be in my heart forever. There are so many memories from the 1970’s parties to 2020’s physiotherapy sessions. May memories bring you peace and joy.
 Sending love and prayers, Cindi and Tom Trowbridge

I was lucky enough to work for the N.C. Division of Medical Assistance during the time Andy was there.  He was a kind man and he was extremely smart. Andy always figured out answers and solutions to very complicated situations. I was constantly in awe of him! 

Praying for God’s comfort for his family and friends.

Andy always had a smile on his face and a welcoming comment. We are missing him deeply. My daughter, Tristy Evely, grew up with Jenny at Andy and Val's homes near Myrtle Underwood. Our families gathered with friends in the park on Park Ave. twice a week to play volleyball. What a treat to set the ball for tall, strong Andy to spike. And how lucky we were to take the girls to Emerald Isle for a week at the beach and start a yearly tradition. Andy was a steady ocean fisherman.

These joyful memories established forever my gratitude for knowing Andy and sharing holidays like New Year's Eve at the Wilsons' home. We survived Hurricane Fran after which he pointed out to me the original pecan orchard we lived in amongst surviving trees. Thank you, Andy, for encouraging me to be a teacher, computer analysis, professor, and painter, and most importantly a devoted parent and happy spouse.

Condolences, hugs, and love from us to Val, Jenny, Sarah, and Jason, plus your beautiful families and children. Andy was a wealthy man in terms of family and friends.

I’m so sorry to hear this.   Andy was such a good guy and I regret as a neighbor I hadn’t had a chance to talk to him in quite a while, although I had seen him earlier this year walking his dog around the block.   My sincere condolences to Val and the entire family.  I know he will be missed.  Too young.  -Simon Griffiths

Val,
I remember all the times Andy accompanied you to a work event and how sweet he was to all of the PAT team.  I especially remember all the sweet brunches you hosted during our Holiday meeting around your dining table.  Often Andy would come by before or after and always make us laugh and provide such support and joy.  He will be missed.  Much love and prayers.  I will be coming back from my first ever PAT national conference on Friday so I will not be able to be at the funeral.  I will be in touch in the near future.  Prayers as you all grieve and reflect on a life well lived!

Andy was my supervisor during my last several years in the NC Division of Medical Assistance,  He was always great to work with.   I have missed him since I retired .  I will never forget his “state” of surprise' exstacy,, confusion, and pure delight when he was called home from an out-of-town meeting when Val gave birth to twins.  For days he ran back and forth to one hospital to see Val, another to visit Jason, and yet another 
to visit Sarah, and then home to see about Jenny!

Andy, may you Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory to Be with God!

With love to Val, children, and grandchildren,
Dorathy “Darf” Chance

Andy  was an amazing father figure for many! I will never forget our memories in collage when he and Val opened their home during the snow storm!  They came and picked us all up from school!  We had a warm meal, time in the hot tub and my first time sledding!  Those memories will forever be there because of how special he made us feel welcomed!

So sorry for your loss. My condolences to your family. Andy was a great husband and father. I am grateful to have been apart of the family from a distance. All my love to all of you.  Cheryl Forvendel Hubble
