Matt and I are so very sorry for your loss. We were so blessed to have met your dad. We send all our love hugs and prayers to your family. All our love Matt and Kim Hunt
To the man who held my hand every step of the way. To the man I looked to for a smile when I was sad or for an “all right kid” when I jumped far. To the man that held my children safely and lovingly in his arms the same way he held me when I was small. To my angel. You‘ve shown me what it means to be kind, consistent and graceful. I love you Grampy.
I am sorry to hear. I will never forget his kindness and wonderful temperament. A great role model.
Andy was a great man who exemplified kindness and gratitude toward the people around him. I will miss my time with him greatly.

ANDY WAS THE BEST NEIGHBOR/FRIEND/ HUMAN BEING THAT ONE COULD HAVE HE WILL BE MISSED BY ALL WHO HAVE MET AND KNOWN HIM. MAY GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY.
Steve and family.
So sorry to hear about your loss.
My awesome Uncle Andy, so kind and loving, will be truly missed. I’m happy for him to have had such a big loving family with so many little ones. Aunt Joan, Steve, Mark and Scott, I’m sending thoughts and prayers for you and your families. I’m so sorry for your loss. Love, Theresa
I was just 16 years old when you came into my life. A lost teen in desperate need of a role model. Through your quiet grace, you taught me about hope, unconditional love, encouragement, respect, kindness, strength, and the value of hard work. You had faith in me when I didn’t have it in myself. And you did this by just being YOU. In my heart, you were never my “in-law”. You were and always will be my Dad. I will love you always and forever.
p.s. Thank you for letting me beat up your Hyundai while I learned to drive a stick shift.
Rest in peace uncle Andy
You were the nice uncle that never flipped me the bird although I may have deserved one or two.
You and auntie were so welcoming
I remeber cookouts at your pool and hanging with the cousins.
Iam honored to have had you as a uncle.
You raised a great family .
So many fond memories of Andy. He was such a kind and gentle soul who had a smile for everyone.
My heartfelt sympathies and prayers go out to his entire family. May your pain of today be healed by the happy memories of the past.
Rest in peace Andy. I am blessed to have had you in my life.
XOXO Lindy

I would call you Mr Douglas and you would say ” please call me Andy ” My late father taught me if you highly respected someone you would always address them as Mr or sir ,, and I always had the highest respect for you and Mrs Douglas ,, you welcomed me into your home and treated me like one of your own sons ,, you welcomed my family into your home and treated them as family ,, I really enjoyed when I would come out to visit steve and patty and you and I would talk for hours about cars , trucks ,, heavy equipment and industrial machinery ,, I lost a real friend today ,,
Rest in peace Mr Douglas ,, god bless .

God Bless and take great care of you, Mr. Douglas. Healing thoughts and prayers to the Douglas Family. ❤️🙏🏻
Andy was the best father in law any one could hope for. He was the reason that my husband is the man he is today. He taught him that love , caring and supporting the woman you love will lead you to a happy life. He would always say to Steve happy wife happy life!
He was one of the best role models you could ever meet and the kind of Dad most people dream about. He use to tell me I amaze him because I always wanted to work outside with him and my husband. The truth is I learned a lot from him and I loved being around him. I will miss him always , but I know god must of needed an angel and he got one of the best!!
I am so very sorry to hear, your dad was such a wonderful man, my deepest condolences to you all….
My condolences. I always thought he was a great person. We were fortunate to know him. My thoughts and prayers are with Joan and the boys.
I’m so very sorry to hear the news of Andy’s passing. He was a wonderful man. So very kind and welcoming. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
