It is with an extremely heavy heart that I leave this post to inform the nuclear community of the passing of my brother, Andy.
For all of you that knew my brother, keep him in your heart as I too shall do. Andy wouldn't have wanted tears and such sadness. He would have just said "Sandra, today was my day", poured us each a drink and told me to carry on.
With that, pour yourself one and join me in saying goodbye to Andy.
Andy was my only older brother; very protective , funny and crazy beyond words. He will be missed!
Love you brother!
I did not know Andy but that is one of the best memorials I have read. I am only sorry I could not have shared a drink with him while he was with us.

Sandy, thanks so much or the update on Andy, my heart goes out to you and your kids loosing their uncle. You guys were close, fun to watch the two of you interact. I lost contact with Andy quite a few years ago and had search for him but no luck. Way back when Andy and I kinda grew up together as far as Boiler Reactors go, I have very fond memories of he and I. I have missed him, now I know he is at peace. Thanks again Sandy
By interacting you mean Andy doing all those aggravating things at work. There were days that he was just on a roll, unmercifully picking on me. I tried to give it right back to him, but I never got the reaction out of him like he got from me. He always knew what buttons to push.( and oh how he could embarass me!!!) All my life I knew that was his way of showing me that he loved me and I wouldn't have had it any other way!!Only in the past few years did he come right out and tell me that he loved me. Guess both of us finally grew a up a little ( although he'd deny the growing up part).
My sons, especially Dan (he and Andy enjoyed fishing and frogging together), are really struggling with this. Keep them in your prayers. Our dad, Tom, is the one hurting most of all but he does that behind closed doors and needs your prayers also.Thank you for all the kind words, thoughts, and prayers. We'll all survive this, its just going to take alot of time.
Thanks for posting. Its kinda of a guessing game for me because I'm not sure who's leaving the post but I miss all of the friends from the nuke days!!( Sign your name if you chose)
Brings back memories. Makes me smile. Makes me laugh. Makes me cry. Thank you.
Really sorry to hear about Andy. He always had a good sense of humor when I worked with him. He will be remembered and missed.
