  1. So very sorry to hear of Andre passing. I have been knowing him for years thru Uncle Eddie who is a special man for sure He will be greatly missed and God bless the family and remember all the good times and his smile. Love, Sylvia Ezzell Long and family

  2. Though I only met and talked to Andre a few times, we established a good rapport and found it easy to share some experiences. I found him a very likable and friendly man, as well as a man of great moral integrity, and I thought of him as a valued member of our extended family. My sons and their wives and I would like to offer our deepest sympathy to Nancy, Pam, Anita, and everyone in his family. — Ed Chapman
