"We will 'toast' to you tonight on your 62nd Birthday, 'Andy', with wine {wish we had some "Mead' to do so, as well}. You are missed EVERY day, not just on your Birthday".

Hi Andy

This morning my first thought was...oh no, 4 years ago my brother Andy passed and we all were endless sad. But it will never stopped to feel close to you. We met us with Loni and kids and we did bring you back to Frankfurt am Main, your birth place. More meetings with family are planned...I love you forever Andy. Your little brother Klaus

"A bottle of 'Decoy" was had by us last night to 'toast' to you on your 59th Birthday, 'Andy'. We 'wonder' what you would 'say' of this 'Covid - 19' Pandemic we continue in . . . we're 'pretty sure' of what we 'feel / think' it 'might be'. Missing those worthwhile conversations . . . your voice . . . YOU."

"Thinking of you on what would be your 57th Birthday today, 'Andy'. Not that we don't each and every day, but with even more of a 'sting' today. We'll open another bottle of
'Decoy' for you tonight, and 'Toast' you. We plan to do more 'Toasts' to you, with Rob, in just a very few days from now. We all 3 miss you more than can EVER be expressed". . .

wrong. . . cruel . . . painful . . . surreal. Not a day goes by we don't talk about you. We ache for your Bride Loni. In your 'Honor / Memory', we plan to have a bottle of ' Decoy'
tonight. We'll ' Toast' to you through tears . . . we miss you . . . we love you . . . always."

"On this now final day of this Month of June 2017, 'Andy', you would be 'turning' 56. So, yet another 'B' for you : Birthday. Is not right, as you should be 'here'. In Honor of this day, we met your . . . again, those 2 ' B's' : Beloved Bride . . . for, yes, another 'B' : Breakfast, this morning; a German Breakfast, as seemed 'appropriate / fitting' for you. You're, eternally, 'Forever ~ 55'. It breaks our hearts. We miss you. We love you, always."

So, from me to you, with 'Bandana' around my head . . . and my fist firmly raised . . . and as the theme song from 'Billy Jack' plays . . . I salute you, and 'send' you 'onward', our dear Friend, as I sadly sing 'One Tin Soldier rides away. . .' ". . . ~ Mary ~

This is your page, “Andy”, so just goin’ to type like
we “talk / type” with you. Just sayin’. . .

You & “Rick” always enjoy my “talent” of reciting the
50 States in Alphabetical order, from “Memory”, then
followed by “Rick’s” painful “attempt” at it, and
“interjecting” that “There are NO ‘ B’s’ “. Well, yes,
per States, But that’s NOT AT ALL true with you
our simple, unique, dear, dear Friend. Actually, is
QUITE the “contrary” :

* YOU / PERSONALLY :
>”Boys’ Ranch”
>”Boxing”
>”Basketball”
>”Bulldogs” / “GO ‘Gonzaga’ ! “
{*came SO close to Winning it for you this Year!}
>”Baggage”
>”Barber” {with Loni’s “assistance”}
>Basement
>”Beezz” {Bad! Unless you had your handy
“Epi – Pen”!}
>Brash
>Bold
>”Bookworm”
>”Brainiac”
>Bright
>Bashful {OOPS! Definitely NOT YOU!}
>BRILLIANT

* Your & “Rick’s ‘ Business World’ “ :
>”Boots”. . . from “Acme” ~ to “Texas”
to, currently, “Dan Post”
>”Boxes” of “Boots” to “Count / Inventory”
> “Barcodes” on “Boxes” of “Boots”
>”Binary Code” {“Nicky” knows all about it now!}
> “Blue Cherry” {a.k.a. “Brown Cherry”}
>”Billy” T.
>Branson
>“Berkliner”
>”Burns Steakhouse” in Tampa, Florida

* OUR “Shared ‘World’ “ with you :
>Better Because of you Being in it
>Bantering Back & forth . . . the Best!
>”Books” {including “Live From New York”}
>”Being There” {forever “Chance the Gardener”}
>”Bill” on “Office Space” {“Uh, yeah, I’m goin’ to
need those ‘ T.P.S.’ Reports”}
>”Bosco” / “Breathtaking” {“Seinfeld”}
>”Buck$” {my “Mary ~ Money” for you}
>”BIGhead” {your “Nickname” for our Nephew}
>”Bears {your special “Cuddle ~ Bears” we gave you,
& some “in the woods” believe you saw once while up
in White Plains, New York}
>”Beer”
>”Bottles”. . . of Water . . . but especially of Wine
>Our “Band” : you / “Rick” / Rob . . . and, our
greatly missed “Leader” of the “Band”, Michael
>”Band ‘Groupies’ “ : Bridget / Loni / Tina / me
>”British Virgin Islands”
>“Blue ~ Eyed ‘ Brit’ “. . . our British “Leader” of the
“Band”, Michael, and his adored Tina

* The “B’s” that matter / mean MOST in YOUR World :
>Brothers : Klaus / Michael / Keith / David
>”Biological / Birth” Mother, & Family. . . “finding”
them in Germany {* THANK YOU, Steve G.!}
>“Buddy ~ Boy ‘ Blue’ “ {sadly, arrived in “Dog Heaven”
3 ~ years ago this Month / June of 2014}
> “Boys” X 3 . . . your & Loni’s “Trio” of “Boys” :
Drew / Kyle / Adam {we always enjoy hearing you
talk about them}
>Betty Kay, your dear Daughter ~ IN ~ LAW
>Bliss . . . your Life with Loni
>Beloved Bride . . . ABOVE ALL ELSE, your Love, Loni;
the 2 of you together so sweet, such an example of real
Love; being a part of seeing the 2 of you as a Couple has
always “inspired”. . . a “Gift” we are “Honored” to know.
After 33 + years of “Marriage”, you always call her your
“Bride”. I know just “hearing” that has always made both
Rob & myself “smile”; we both love “hearing” you say it.

In closing, the cruelest of “B’ s”. . . your now Earthly exit
leaves us . . . and our “Band”. . . Beyond Brokenhearted.
Sadly. . . so surreally . . . half of the “Band” has now “left”
the “Stage”.

You joined our so very much missed Michael in “Heaven”
exactly a Year + 11 Months later, to the day . . . with him
arriving there 6th of July of 2015 . . . and, now, ripping us
apart, you “join” him there this week, on 6th of June of 2017.
{*And, yes, “Andy”, we “noted” the Day / Date . . . the
“Anniversary” of “D ~ Day”. ~ Touche` }

No doubt you and our Blue ~ Eyed “Brit ‘Leader’ “ of the
“Band” are having endless Bottles of Wine in Heaven, and
having a “chat” about your shared “Manchester City ‘Soccer’
Team”. We Love You Both, and will forever miss you both.

The “Band ‘plays ~ on’ “. . . But is Badly Bruised and Broken.
The music is more difficult to hear now. . . are 2 major “Beats”
painfully missing . . . and the “tunes” are just not nearly as fun,
funny, cool, smooth, irreverent, or “sweet” now. Just sayin’. . .

Our last “B’s”. . . ~ Breaking our hearts in a Billion Bits,
We Love You, “Andy”. . . ~ Mary & “Rick” ~

Andy was such a wonderful great person and I am proud and happy that I had the chance to have him in my life.
He will always be a part of me and my heart.

Love Loni

The time of parting is a time of memories and pain. You've gone the last few months a hard way together with Andy. Your love and the love of your family have helped you. Thank you that we could be a small part of it.
We love you and we will always remain in union with you.

Dear Andy

You found us in February 1993 in Frankfurt am Main. It started a great time. A time of feelings, joy, love and a lot of fun. We are so grateful to you and to your whole family, who has welcomed us so warmly. You all have become a part of our lives.

You are in our hearts and there you will always remain ... no matter where you are. Many of our tears will accompany you on your last journey.

We love you Andy and the memories will join us forever.

This sends you your loving Mother
Your brother Klaus and Elke
Monika and Nicole with children Alina and Alicia
