Andy was a friend I worked with at Pizza Hut in Taylor. When we first met I wasn't aware of the fact that we were part of the same extended family. In fact, I knew his sister Theresa well. (R.I.P. Cheese). We became friends and I made sure that none of our coworkers messed with him. On one occasion in particular I overheard a driver say something to the effect that he wanted to beat Andy up. Seconds later he was sent flying into the dish washing machine and crumpled to the floor dazed. With a look of confusion on his face I looked at him and told him "No one messes with Andy." Now in time things happen and we became estranged. In fact what occurred made it impossible for he and I to remain friends but I personally bore him no ill will. At Pizza Hut Andy was well liked and he would do a good turn for nearly anyone who would ask. Now I literally just found out at the time of this writing that he has passed. I don't know anything about the circumstances of it. I just hope he didn't suffer and I lament his passing.
