I am grateful for the love and care Andy provided my father during his youth. I barely knew Andy but his faith and love clearly represented the One his trust was in. I am sure his infectious smile and warmth will be missed. What a great witness to the world of how we should let our light shine brightly for Jesus.

Staying at Andy's

I remember staying at Marie & Andy's house and enjoying my cousins and especially remember their beautiful home with an upstairs. Many good times while our parents played cards. Andy always had a smile even when he didn't remember my name (I really thought he was still a happy person).

As a young teenager, I always enjoyed going to Uncle Andy's and Aunt Marie's for the weekly bridge game with my Mom and Dad. I loved hanging out in the tranquility of their home, sitting on their big porch and visiting Grandma O'Hair. Uncle Andy always had a pureness about him that drew me to him at all of the family reunions. I will miss his smile.

It was always great fun to stay at Uncle Andy and Aunt Marie's house as a kid. I also remember the ice cream truck a the reunions. I did not know until I read the obituary that Uncle Andy was a personnel director. Human Resources is my work as well. I don't think I ever heard Uncle Andy raise his voice, he was always smiling!

O'Hair Reunion

As a young boy, I remember the O'Hair reunions at the Greencastle Robb-Ann Park. Uncle Andy would bring the ice cream in his Wilair truck. That was the first time I experienced dry ice--a big deal for a country kid. Uncle Andy would let Stanley and I put a small piece in water and watch the fog. Knowing that Uncle Andy attended college and was a teacher provided me encouragment to complete college.
