Dude was a friend of my son.  He had great memories from years ago just hanging out with Dude and playing music together.   May he Rest In Peace.

You will be missed Andrew and always loved!! 

Open mic Beloit with Andrew — with Andrew

Andrew and I met when we were just teenagers, and if you’re around our age you’ll understand. AOL chat rooms! Nobody knew that a random weird conversation would turn into a life long friendship. We dated as teens, long distance after we met. (He lived in NY when I met him online and moved to IL when I had met him in person) that chapter in our lives just wasn’t meant to be but our souls were connected in a way I cannot even begin to understand, only that I cherished it! No matter what I knew he was always there, day or night. About a year ago I called him up because I was going through some personal things and he answered without hesitation. We talked for a couple hours just like we used to, just like things had never changed. No matter the amount of time that passed without speaking, our conversations easily picked up as if we had talked just yesterday. Andrew loved with his whole heart. His whole being. And never disappointed me. (Except when he had long hair 😂 jk) there was no exception to our friendship and I’d had chosen our friendship over anything. He meant so much to me and still does. ❤️

I was so sorry to hear about Andrew's passing. My best memories is how well he took care of his son. They were happy and having so much fun together.  Also, what a wonderful friend he has been to our family. Many board games at my daughter's in the kitchen.  My grandson loved spending time with Andrew and learning how to play.  We also enjoyed his comedy acts. We love you Andrew and miss you❤️
