I knew Andy from a young age, when he was the Drummer for Ramblin Fever. No matter where I saw Andy he always asked about my family. A truly good hearted man has been taken for a higher purpose God bless.

Our sympathy to Andy’s wife and family and also to all the Rebbe family. I have many memories back to when I was in grade school and Jack Rebbe and family entertained us at many community meetings, Phil and family and their great music and I will always think of music when I think of Andy. May your golden memories bring you comfort. Andy touched many lives and was a great guy. The Messersmith-Plopper Family
