I was so fortunate to get to work with Andy for over 25 years at MGIC.  A lot of words come to my mind when I think of Andy.  He was kind, funny, humble, dedicated, smart, sincere, loyal, considerate and caring, to name only a few.  His customers loved him because he really cared about them and because he a went the extra mile for them - every time.   He was like this with his MGIC friends, too.   Andy was a friend you could always count on.  We were supposed to all get together for his retirement party / holiday party the day after he passed.  Andy and I exchanged messages the morning of his passing, and we told each other how excited we were to get to see each other the following night and to get to catch up.  I'm so glad we reached out to each other that day, and I will always save his message.   I will always remember Andy's kindness and his true friendship to me.    He will be greatly missed.   
Rest in peace, Andy.  

I worked with Andy a few years back on a special project at MGIC. Andy was a great underwriter and had a great personality.  We had a good little team here and Andy was our key person. My life is better for having known him.

I have worked with Andy for several years and his gentleness and kindness will never be forgotten.  We had some good laughs over the phone and he shared his excitement about his up-coming retirement.    Please accept my thoughts and prayers.  

I was so shocked to hear about Andy passing.  Andy is my cousin and there are so many memories that I have thought about this past week.  Talk about a good guy.  My 💙 goes out to Mike and Steve and their families in the loss of their brother.  Andy give Grandma and PaPaw a big hug from me along with everyone else that you've been reunited with.  I'll try and drink a bottle of Boones Farm Strawberry Hill in your honor.  RIP cousin.

I worked with Andy at MGIC!    I am so sorry that he did not get to enjoy the retirement he was looking forward to.  I will miss our talks and his laugh!    My sincerest condolences to all of his family!  He was a such a great guy!  

I worked with Andy at MGIC.  He was a man of kindness and such a gentle soul.  My condolences to his immediate family and extended family at MGIC.

All of us at MGIC are heartbroken.   I was Andy's supervisor - I worked with him for 25 years.    All of his coworkers and our customers loved working  with him.   He was a very valuable part of our team.   He was all set to retire on 12/31/18 - a milestone that he worked hard for.    I am so sad that he didn't get the chance to enjoy the retirement that he was so looking forward to.

I will miss Andy's sense of humor and his laugh.   I will miss his hard work and his dedication to his job.   But most of all, I will miss his friendship.

My prayers are with his family. 

Andy and I worked together for 25 years at MGIC.  We were planning our retirement together for December 2018.  This picture is from our meeting in our Home office Oct 2018.   I will miss our morning coffee talks.  I will miss you so very much  my dear friend. 

I am so sorry to hear of the news of Andy. During the few times I spoke with him, he was always willing to take a phone call and help out whenever needed. I enjoyed our conversations, and thought very highly of him. He will be missed by all of us here at MGIC. Our prayers to the family and relatives. 

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.  Andy was a valuable and highly regarded member of our Credit Union Underwriting Team, where he helped approve loans that put credit union members in homes.  He was a great contributor to the team, and I was so happy for him with regard to his retiring.  He will be missed by all.
