mouth 0 #12 August 6, 2001 Andy was such a great guy...he will be missed greatly. I always enjoyed jumping with him because even when I screwed up he found something to praise me for which made me feel good. He was always upbeat and positive when he was at the DZ making him a fun person to be around. Thanks for the memories Andy...blue skies foreverLisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
