Christy Upham: Andy had such a generous heart!  He was always giving to the church and community.  My sweetest memory was how he took Greg- the Pali Walker- into his home until we could get Greg back to his family on the Mainland.  When asked if he could help, he didn't hesitate to say yes as he felt the leading of the Lord to do so.  I will miss Andy, his smile, his unique sense of humor, and his servants heart!   

Conrad Kalehuawehe: I'll always remember Uncle Andy being early, whether waiting for me to open the church sanctuary at 7am or picking him up to go have dinner or events. Uncle Andy was always faithful to pray was always there at the building for prayer. A prayer warrior he was.

Patrick Vanbramer: There are a lot of good things to say about Andy. A trait that is so easy to see is that he gave so much without expecting anything in return. He volunteered much of his time through hard work, done to Glorify the Lord. He didn't have to do any of these things, but knowing Andy, the man with the Golden heart, he needed to do these things. Not for pay, but for his payment to give back to the One whom Blesses. This is the Legacy he leaves us. To Honor God in all we do. To be Humble. To show Love with the gifts He gives us. Andy was a gift given to us from God. A gift that keeps giving and a gift that remains in our hearts. We will see you there Andy, one day, doing the Lord's work. We will miss you, but we know the Promise. You are in our hearts Andy. We Love you man. Later P

Pastor Chris and Wendy Martin: Although we first met Andy as a member of Lahaina Baptist Church, we considered him family from the start. All of our relatives visiting us on Maui loved Andy like family also. Whether we watched Super Bowls, celebrated holidays, or just relaxed at a beach park cook-out, we often spent the whole day with Andy.
   We can only think of Andy if we think of Lahaina. He taught us about West Maui’s history, how to cook in the imu, grow local plants, and much more.
   Any time we got together with Andy, we usually had food. Lots of delicious food. Andy introduced us to musubi, chow fun, sashimi, and the incredible buffet at KBH, among other
amazing dishes. His home cooking put several pounds on us, most of which remain on us today. We traveled countless trips to Keanae every summer, loaded with camp supplies after a Costco run, knowing that a busy week of ministry awaited him.
   Most of all, we’ll miss Andy’s spirit. He always filled the room with a hearty laugh and lots of chatter. Any time someone needed anything, he responded. At LBC, his countless hours of teaching, cooking, or taking care of the church facilities and grounds showed his deep dedication to God’s work. We all knew that we could count on Andy.
   To his family, we love you and thank you for sharing him with us. He brought a tremendous personality into our family that will impact us forever. We are grateful for God allowing us such special times with Andy.  

Ed Quiring:   I remember Andy as a quiet worker behind the scene. He didn't seek the limelight but just wanted to serve. And he was so generous not only with his time but with his money.
