Ralph LudwigElayne, we are sorry to hear that Andy has passed away. I really enjoyed working and socializing with Andy all those years we both were with S.C, Johnson & Son. I remember so well golfing with, and against, him at various golf courses over a number of years---so enjoyable. Mary and I recalled the evening we spent with Andy and you at the Gobbler Restaurant near Johnson Creek, now many years ago. Always a nice memory. May the Almighty look favorably on you and your family, Ralph and Mary Ludwig

Mark and Susan WilsonDear Elayne and Family, We were so sorry to read in the Kenosha News about Andy's passing. I am sure you have been his rock this whole time and he is now at peace. Your family is HUGE. What is in the water out there? I know he will always be with you and your family. Everyday an "Andyism" will be shared or when you do something "corny" that reminds you of your dear Andy. We always loved spending time with you and your family. You two were such great friends and good examples for all the younger married couples. We learned a lot about enjoying each other through all types of challenges. I know your family and friends will be there for you in this time of grief. You will always have your Andy watching over you and loving you. With our sympathy, Mark and Sue Wilson
