Mr. and Mrs. Morris and family,
I had only known Andy for the past three weeks, but in that time I realized we shared the same sarcastic sense of humor, which helped the work day pass very quickly! I can honestly say that almost everything I know about my job, Andy taught me. We will definately miss his intelligence and his infectious smile around here. My prayers are with you all.
Melissa Hoyle 2008-10-22 09:55:04
To the Morris Family: It is with a sad heart that we read about Andy\'s death. We are avid Clover Hill Buck fans and Andy was a joy to watch as he ran out to the outfield and when someone was on base, inevitably he would deliver a base hit. I know he will be greatly missed and our prayers are with you during this time.
Ray and Marsha Shank 2008-10-22 10:03:09
Mel, Tish and family,

My deepest sympathies to you all.

Mary Hardesty 2008-10-22 10:54:51

I cherish EVERY time I got to hang out with your son, it was always a great time because he was such a great person. We just "clicked". He was my best friend. Everything we did together. I will miss him sorely and I know you and your family will so much. I will never forget Andy, and I loved him, for he was very special to me, and to a lot of others. Zach, Matt, Tish, Kip, others... you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mel, Tish, and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time. My heart can't find the words to express you must feel. Andy always had an infectious smile. Andy always greeted me and talked to me and asked me how I was doing. He even gave me advice on classes to take my senior year at Broadway. I remember being in sunday school class with Andy, and Tish was the teacher. She always tried to keep a sense of order to the class but Andy and Zach were always cracking jokes. It always made the class a lot of fun. Andy will be deeply missed.
Amy Siever 2008-10-23 08:30:54

Morris family,
I am very upset to hear about Andy. He lived in the apartment below me at Radford University. Andy was always my go to guy when I lock myself out of my place! He would provide plenty of entertainment, rather it was making me laugh or playing music. I always enjoyed walking up to our building and hearing him sing at the top of his lungs! Andy was so very talented and smart and will be remembered and missed by his many friend at Radford University. I will be praying for your family and Andy.
Amy Connors 2008-10-23 11:27:23
