I'm sorry too here of your lost, Andy and I went to North Chicago H.S together and was a dear friend of mine. We had alot of good times playing sports, riding bikes you name it. Though I haven't scene him since graduation, he and his family were always remembered and loved by many. RIP my friend,

Julia, I am very sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences to all your family. My heart goes out to you and your family at this difficult time.

Oldham family,
My name is Dale Hannon who just returned to Phx from Canada. We have a home in Trilogy and just learned of Andy's passing. So sorry and want you to know we thought the world of him. Always made us feel welcome at the golf course while being very professional about it. Called us by  name which always amazed me as only here two months of the year. He will be missed.

Dear Julia , I am very very sorry to hear about your dad.  Sincere condolences to you and to all your family. May his memory be blessed forever !

Julia,
I am very sorry for your loss.  I lost my dad when he was 56, and I still miss him.  You do look very much like him.  It was nice to see his photograph.  I am sure there are other of his qualities you also share, and which you will keep alive, and may even, as I do now, see in your own children.
God bless,
Angie

Julia,

I'm extremely sorry for your loss. Even though I didn't know your father I know that he was very important to you and that you will keep him close always.

Megan

Julia, I am truly sorry for your loss.  I still miss my dad, but I know your faith is strong and you will be able to move forward with him in your heart and memory.  You are a wonderful girl and it must be from your up bringing. God bless.

Julia, I am sure your dad was an absolutely incredible person because you are such an amazing woman. I'm so lucky that I work with such a kind and intelligent teacher. I am sure he was so proud of you. My sympathies go out to the entire family.

Julia, my deepest sympathy to you and your entire family.  Reading the memories of others who shared made me to realize your Dad was dynamic and a very nice man, as you are.  Cherish his memories always and his love will remain with you all.  My prayers are with your family for peace and comfort.

It is with a sad heart we say good bye to Andy. Really one of the nicest people I had the pleasure to be around.  He never had a discouraging word to say about anyone.  Always there to lend a hand.  I remember he took me to the Airport and we had a great conversation about baseball and golf and our working conditions (Good of course) and we laughed a lot.
GO with God Andy and rest easy.

Chuck Kunde

Andy was one of my most favorite Assistant Golf Professionals.  He was very conscientious and big hearted.  Andy worked very hard to make sure that every golfer had a great experience when they arrived at the golf course.  He was certainly the kindest sole I have ever been able to call my friend.

Laura,
We were shocked and saddened to hear of Andy's passing. We knew him through the pro shop and we were fortunate to play golf with him once. He gave me so many helpful tips for improving my golf game so we took him over to the Blue Agave to thank him for his help. It was fun getting to know him. We were certainly hopeful that we would hear from you two when you were in Alaska on your cruise but it wasn't meant to be.  Know that you and your family and of course Andy are in our prayers. What a fine person he was!

My deepest sympathies to the entire Oldham Family during this time of loss. My prayer is that God will grant you peace and strength for the days ahead. Julie Belcher (Glenn Dale, MD)

From all of us here at Woods Valley, we are deeply sorry for your loss. We haven't stopped praying or thinking about your family and we pass on our sincere condolences for the sudden loss of Andy.

Julia and family, we are sorry for your loss. Of course it is a part of life but that doesn't make you hurt any less. We are always here for you and pray that your pain will be better with time. We love you, Santo and Erica.

Laura,
Jim and I met Andy the day we found a house in Trilogy 5 years ago.  It was August (we were going to come in Oct for the winter), but we wanted to find out about the golf course and shop.  He was so very helpful and even talked me into a pair of wonderful golf shoes.  When we returned in Oct. he remembered us, but of course not our names.  However, from that time on, he always addressed us by name!!!
I know you and your family have wonderful memories too.
Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Jim and Danna Harnish

Laura-I just found out your husband passed away. I wanted to express my thoughts and share that I am praying for you. I miss your smile and humor at Phoenix Childrens- I hope you are adjusting well to your newest job in California-Just wanted you to know that friends you left in Phoenix still care deeply for you, miss you and wish you the best in the days ahead- sincerely and with deepest sympathy- chrystyl dimler  p.s.- i thought of you in december when i wore our mutual caroling kitties shirt

Laura and Family, I worked with Andy at Trilogy in Arizona. We both spent time in Miami and Seattle and shared stories of favorite placed is both areas. He was a great friend, would reach out when he knew you were struggling to include you in something fun. I will always remember fond memories of enjoying a round of golf together, and his professionalism and class in his duties at Trilogy. Everything was always good as long as there were Reese's Peanut Butter Cups stocked in the shop cooler. He was a great man, and a true friend. Please accept my deepest condolences as you process this terrible loss. He was truly a class act and will be greatly missed.

Laura and Family,  When we would walk into the Pro Shop at Trilogy, Andy would greet us with "Hello Friends"  We considered him our friend and know he will be missed.  He was truly one of the good ones..  
Jim and Donna Barberis

To the Oldham Family,
We got to know Andy at the Trilogy Golf Club in AZ.  We will always remember his wonderful smile greeting us when we entered the Pro Shop. He was always nice and helpful to the Trilogy Desert Divas,too. Thank you for sharing your photo memories with his friends and family.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and hope they bring you peace.

Laura and Oldham Family,
I had the privilege of working with Andy at Trilogy. He was a very kind and generous man. The thing I appreciated most about "Anders" was his determination to get things right. He would sometimes be too hard on himself but ultimately he never gave up on trying to the the best he could be. He could always bring comedic relief to myself and the rest of the team. He will be missed greatly and my family's thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Laura, Julia and Family - Andy and I became good friends while working together at the Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia.  Andy was a true gentleman who always showed great compassion for others.  He had the amazing talent of remembering names and greeted everyone who entered the golf shop.  Andy purchased donuts every Tuesday for the Men's Club and always saved a pink-frosted donut for me, which I would find carefully tucked in my drawer.  I will always remember and cherish Andy's kindness and our many conversations.  Rest in peace, dear friend.

Dear Oldham family,
I am sorry for your loss. It is never easy to lose a loved one, regardless if they have lived a full life. One thing I will say is that "WE" should be happy and allow our God to take his son into his care where he will forever be at peace. When you become sad just remember this; the love and laughter he shared with all of you will live in you forever. My sincerest condolences to you and your families. May God help you find peace and strength to get through this trying time. With all due respect.

Dear Laura and Julia and all of Andy's family,

There are many sad faces here at Pinnacle Presbyterian Church after learning of Andy's passing. Laura and Andy made good friends here and are remembered as strong witnesses of God's love and grace. 

May God's peace be with you and keep you strong.

Roselyn and George O'Connell

It was a joy to see Andy behind the counter at the Trilogy Golf Course.  He always greeted my wife and me with a smile and our name.  We would always talk weather in Seattle and say how lucky we are to be in Arizona.  We are deeply sorry for your loss.
Mark and Dorothy Strand

I loved walking into the pro shop and have Andy greet me with a warm, good morning Ron.  Andy's gifts were many but the one that caught my attention was he could remember names. He often would ask me to pray for him, his family members or friends.  His faith was strong an unwavering.  He was always concerned that things be done right, but maybe not the easiest way. I am sadden to learn of his death but so grateful to have know Andy.

Andy was a shining star at Trilogy, his light was always on, warm compassionate and caring.  He always saw the bright side.  He will be missed by many!

I think I met  you both when you bid on cat sitting for the youth auction at West Side Pres Church twenty or so years ago? It meant so much you supporting our teens going to Juarez Mexico to help build a house.  I enjoyed getting to know your cats, however briefly, and still think so highly of you both--your kindness and zest for life and happiness together. At a loss for words Laura, but know how much I care.  Linda Layman, Seattle, WA

It was such a pleasure to see Andy when at the Pro Shop at Trilogy at Vistancia. He was always so welcoming, with a smile on his face, and his personal greeting to everyone.  It was a loss to see him leave Trilogy.  He will be missed, as he touched so many lives in a positive manner.

Laura, & Julia, I meet Andy at Trilogy in Peoria, AZ. I'm very sorry for your loss. Andy was a great guy! He played golf with our groups many times. He was the most helpful person in the pro shop. I'm sure he's smiling down on all of us.

We were privileged to get to know Andy during his time at Trilogy. We will always remember the kind and gentle soul who greeted us with a smile.  Laura, Andy's love for you was so evident in the way he spoke of you. We hope that love will bring you comfort.

Laura, I had the pleasure of knowing Andy during the time he worked here at the Trilogy of Vistancia Golf Course, in Peoria, AZ.  He was one of the most transparent and kind persons I have ever met!  He will be missed, but not forgotten!

Laura & Julia:  There are so many of us here in Trilogy at Vistancia that knew and loved Andy.  How could you not love him.  He always had a smile on his face and would do anything to help you out.  What a kind and gentle man.  He did talk of how proud he was of Julia.  We, too, will miss him and have since he left Trilogy.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this trying time.  God bless all of you.
Bill and Dolores Thain, Trilogy at Vistancia, Peoria, AZ

Laura,

It was obvious that Andy was the love of your life.  I pray that God will give you peace through this difficult time and you, I know, you will forever cherish the fond memories of Andy! Hang onto the beautiful poem your dad gave you and know that they are watching over you.  It's never easy to say goodbye to a loved one - my prayers are with you!

Laura, I knew Andy when he attended the MYF (our youth group) in Waukegan, IL. The way you described his gentle soul is just how I remember him. He is gone too soon & so suddenly. I am so sorry. You are all in my prayers. Love, Susie Brown

Laura,
Andy was such a great partner for you, and a wonderful person in all our lives.  I thoroughly enjoyed being with Andy in all the places you lived, DC, Seattle, Miami, and San Diego.  We had fun playing golf, dining, seeing movies, and everything else we did.  I will miss Andy so much, and the kids will miss their Uncle "Handy."  Frances and I extend our deepest condolences to you and let us help you celebrate his life!  Love, Paul

Laura, I never had the pleasure of meeting Andy personally but I feel like I knew him.  I always saw your posts about being with your best friend, and the pictures of him showed such a kind and sweet face. You were blessed to be with him, but he was blessed also to be with you.  Your time together here was brief, but you will have eternity.  Right now my heart breaks for you, but you will meet again.

Laura, you of course are much in my prayers...enjoyed working with Andy when you were in Seattle and he worked in the front office at West Side for a time and you both were (still are) a part of our West Side family. Praying for peace and strength for you.

We can't believe he's gone, but will always remember how he welcomed and embraced us all like family, even when we showed up unexpectedly. Sending love to Laura, Julia, and the Oldhams.

Laura,

Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Although I didn't know Andy well, I do know how you adored him. I pray for peace for you and know you have the eternal promise of seeing him again one day. May the God of Grace and Love sustain you.

Dear Laura-
Andy was kind, warm-hearted, and genuine....character traits too often missing in so many men today.  Kudos to his parents for raising such a neat person.  Andy and I shared a love for the game of golf.  He was a pro and I am a "hack".  I'll always remember and treasure that day of golf together in Maui when Andy encouraged me to join him to play the Plantation course at Kapalua. I had never played it before and Andy said he got some discounted rate and that we had to tee it up together.  I said, "OK, let's do it!"  It was a spectacular day and we got in the 18 holes as the sun was setting.  I recall Andy played well and I survived with still some golf balls left in my bag.  More recently, Jenna and I have come to love Arizona and would escape there for a few weeks in the early Spring.  It was special to meet you guys for worship at Pinnacle Peak and catch up on each other over dinner.  And then we  learned that Andy was the Asst. Pro at the Trilogy at Vistancia  not too far from Sun City West, AZ where we have come to enjoy over the last several years.  I can still recall seeing Andy behind the counter greeting us and other golfers.  He was a Professional in every sense of the word and was in his element on and around the golf course.  Know that our lives were enriched having known Andy and counted him and you among our friends. He will be missed.  Denny & Jenna Olson, West Seattle

Dear Laura,

Such a beautiful tribute to the memory of your very best friend, Andy.
He will be greatly missed..

Bob and Vicky Bruck

My thoughts and prayers have been with you, Laura, Andy, and the Oldham family since Friday. I cannot believe Andy is with our Lord and Savior and we will have to wait to see him again. All my love.

Donna

Dear Laura and all family,  So, so sorry to hear this news.  Strength and peace to you all, and God's presence.  Your faith family at Pinnacle Presbyterian holds you in prayer.  Peace,  Wes Avram

Too young and too sudden. My sincere condolences.
Jeff

Aunt Katy, Brian and Brad, I am so sorry about this.  I think about all of you every day.
Dana
