Rev Andy was a wonderful person and positive influence on our children during his Salem days. He was missed as he moved to his new ministry. Rev Andy when we met in passing was always sincere, genuine and loving to us all. He will be surely missed by all of those he inspired in some way. Rest now, Rev Andy, with our Savior as it should be.

Andy was a great chaplain. I had the pleasure of listening to his reports at team meetings held at Rensselaer Hospice. We will certainly miss him. Rest in Peace, Andy.

Andy was an amazing individual. I am extremely honored to have known and worked with him. He was so loving and kind. You could tell when you met him that he was passionate about his calling.
Although I'm very saddened to learn of his passing, I know that he is with his Lord and Saviour and that he is at peace. Thank you Andy for being you. There's no other way and no other words to describe him that could do him justice.
Thank you. I will miss you and keep you forever in my prayers.

Prayers to Andy's family. Andy renewed my faith and baptized my children. My son went home to be with God 4 days before Andy. I am sure my son was waiting there to welcome him. God bless

Andy was one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. He cared for my mom when she was in a nursing home and hospice. I just loved talking to him and he was even kind enough to speak at my moms memorial service. I know there is a very special place in heaven for him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family

I remember Andy as a kid but didn't really have the pleasure of knowing him as a kind and loving adult. Ah, the memories at the Haslett farm. All of my Russ cousins are younger than I. That makes me an old #8. Thanks, Andy, for leaving a great legacy. My condolences to Sue, his children, and siblings.

I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I had known Andy as an adult. My memory of him is a little blond boy in the brown haired, brown eyed Russ family. He seems to have grown into a loving and giving man, too soon gone. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Chuck and Mary

We met Andy last year when our mom was in hospice care, at Samaritan hospital and the Eddy on VILLAGE Green. Mom loved his name and always had a smile for him. She made a play on his name referring to the Gospel song In The Garden, And he walks with me And he talks with. Andy was at moms service and funeral He shared time with Father Spinard from St Augustine. He will be so missed, he was so loved.

I met Andy at Community Congregational Church many years ago. He was extremely humble and down to earth. He was a bright light and will always be in our hearts. He loved his neckties and we looked forward to see which one he wore on Sunday's. My sincere sympathy to his family on his loss. He will be greatly missed.

Andy was kind enough to speak at my father's memorial service at The Eddy Village Green 2 years ago. My heart truly goes out to your family. The beautiful promise for help and strength found at Isaiah 41:10&13 has been of great comfort to me, and I hope it may be for you, too.
