It's been really hard trying to find the words to express the heavy sadness I have felt mourning the sudden & devastating loss of such a good friend.
Andy & I first developed a friendship with each other in kindergarten and because we lived very close to each other, we ended up spending a lot of time at each others house during our elementary school years. He quickly became the first best friend I had growing up, one that I was very grateful to have if not sometimes jealous of. I believe Andy was the most accomplished student and gifted close friend I have ever known in my life. He was so talented athletically, academically, artistically and at so many other things, you name it! This, combined with his tremendous drive to succeed made it so challenging to compete with him at virtually anything. Although he was so often class leader, team captain & standout artist in the group, he was a true team player and never let his advanced skills inflate his ego. He was also one of the most respectable classmates & sportsmen on and off the field that I have ever met.
But, I believe many of the virtues Andy acquired in his life were made possible because of the Godly, generous & loving family that raised him. He was blessed to have a close bond with a Dad, who took much time talking, teaching and participating together in sports & outdoor activities, a Mom who loved to provide their sons with an abundance of gifts, resources and enjoyed creating a warm atmosphere filled with hospitality for friends to gather together, and of course two brothers to make sure the value of sharing, sacrifice & tolerance was learned. Looking back, I have such good memories being around Andy's home and was also blessed many times feeling like part of the family. Please know that I extend my deepest sympathy to the entire family, I love you all!
I had always hoped to one day get re-connected with my old friend but I guess in time we just need serenity when God takes those of us, who shine brightly in this world, home way sooner than what we are prepared for and can understand... I will miss you greatly, my friend!
Cheers to one of my last roommates who I was privileged to share a house with until I became a grown-up. You were like the younger brother I never knew I wanted and also a great friend. I’m sorry, not sorry, for being a bad influence but man, we sure did have fun. I’m so proud to be part of your “Boston family” but it won’t be the same without you. You were definitely the best dressed member of the 37 Radnor crew and the one who was always in a good mood even on a bad day. You were always up for an adventure; whether it was a night out in Boston, a weekend trip to New Orleans, a concert, a ski trip, a good game of euchre or just a relaxing day of watching football. You had an awesome sense of humor, could cook like no other, and you truly are irreplaceable. I’m so thankful for the many wonderful memories of our times together. May the powder be perfect and the beers always cold. You will be missed. Rest In Peace, Andy. I send my deepest condolences to Kathy, Zoe, his family and everyone who loved him.
It's not comprehensible that our good friend is gone. Andy was such a kind, smart, and good person. We will cherish the memories of our family outdoor adventures, and the meals, and conversations we shared throughout the years. It was clear that he adored his family, and we are heartbroken with Kathy and Zoe for this incredible loss.
You are in our thoughts. We miss Andy - such a great person and friend. - Chris House
Our hearts are broken. Andy was by far one of the nicest people we’ve ever known. He had a way of making everyone feel welcomed and comfortable in any setting. We’ve had so much fun hanging out with Andy and the entire Angle family tailgating for PSU Football games. He will never be forgotten and always missed. The Angle Family is full of the kindest people we’ve ever met and you will all forever be in our prayers.
