    Back in the early 2000s when contemplating about selling my GS I found the GSR site. My first of many rides were with Andy, Skip, Jethro, KGB, Doug and others. Andy was a bigger than life guy with a huge personality. I am glad to have met him and will miss him.

      Sad, sad news. A wonderful human being that will be missed. I looked forward to seeing him and Lori at our gatherings wherever they were held.

          While I did not know Andy as deeply as many of you I did begin to enjoy many deeper conversations over the past several years at the VT and Moosehead rallies and I quickly began to admire Andy's "eyes wide open and straight ahead" type philosophy. Andy feared no one, and told his funny life's stories with hilarious energy. I'll will miss those stories, I will miss that unique energy, and I will deeply miss our friend Andy.

            i was working on skunk #2 when i got the news. after kicking the wall a couple times i thought maybe i'll nickname that bike "pillage".. i'll never forget that guy. he always cracked me up with his boisterous bahston accent. rock solid on the bike too. that dude rode some serious miles.

              Not enough time with him. I loved him like a brother.
