    My life long friend has left this world for a better tomorrow. I fondly remember days of singing in the choir all summer at St. George in New Baden, roller skating and musicals with my dear friend, Andy. To Carol and the kids -- my heart goes out to you in your enormous loss. Andy was one of a kind -- a strong and wonderful man. I will miss him every day for the rest of my life.

    My prayers are with Andy and the family at this time. I worked with Andy in the pharmacies and I truly loved working with him. He was always so full of energy and always had a smile on his face. He adored his wife and family and he loved his music. He was a great pharmacist and he loved his patients, too! Andy will always be one of the first pharmacists I remember working with as I was in pharmacy school. To the family: "Have faith in God and know that you will see Andy again..." God Bless, Carol Schroeder - pharmacist mgr at Schnucks Godfrey, IL

    Andy was such a dear man. My husband went to high school with Greg, and I first met Andy when he was our pharmacist at Schnucks in Waterloo. My grocery store visits were always brightened by my wonderful chats with him. He was such a delightful human being. The image of he and Greg in heaven, getting reacquainted, makes me smile. We will pray for the Mank family, as I know Andy will be sorely missed. God bless you.

    Andy was a dear classmate of mine at Mater Dei and a good friend from years past. It was so sad to learn of his battle but in the end he is victorius and is now at peace in heaven. God bless Andy's family--I am so happy that Andy walked my way in life, if not for just awhile. I have such good memories of Andy. Donna
