Uncle Andy, as he was called by my kids, was one of the sweatiest human beings I have ever known. He was a walking testament of God’s faith and love and was willing to give to anyone who needed it. He and I still considered ourselves in laws and I appreciated his consistent faith and his infectious laugh. Prayers to the Harrell family
