Please let me know down the road if there is anything you need. You are in our prayers for comfort at this time. Love and Blessing’s Dave Fernandes
I am so sorry to hear about his passing. It is so very hard to lose someone you love when they are still so young. When someone you love dies you never quite get over it. You slowly learn how to go on without them but you will always keep them tucked safely in your heart. Just know that he is in a better place and will be there to greet you. My prayers are with you all Debbie
Bernard, Alma and family, Please accept our condolences in your loss of Andy. No parent should have to grieve the loss of a child. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. Family of Gene Sutton

To the entire Fair family, I am so sorry for the loss of Andy. I have may memories with him growing up as I do with all the Fair boys. May you Rest in Peace my dear friend.
To the Fair Family, So sorry to hear of the passing of Andy. I remember when working at Krogers and Andy would come in before or after work and he was always so soft spoken with a smile on his face. He was very kindhearted. My heart is aching for your loss. Always remember God is our comforter and our strength. “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not on our own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path……..Proverbs 3; 5,6 Love and continued prayers coming your way.

So sorry for the loss of Andy, you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
So sorry for everyones loss our thoughts are with you
I saw Andy maybe once as a kid as we moved away but my memory of him was riding a rocking horse and I wanted to try it. I was five years older, so maybe I was to big to. I wish I had known him. His grandmother and mine were sisters and I will bet thy never thought their family would be scattered all over and even grow up not knowing each other. Aunt Nada never failed to remind me to pray for Andy. I knew he was special through her. I have had 2 sons die,and if it were not for the promise of reunion, it would not be possible to bear it. Prayers will continue for all of you who will miss the day to day fellowship with him. If you know Jesus, you will see him again,you can bank on it.
To the fair family, I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Andy. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I’ll always remember playing outside with Andy when we were kids on New Cumberland Rd. We will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayer. Love the Pettit Family
To the Fair family: I am so very sorry to hear of Andy’s passing: Andy was a truly nice individual who (no matter who you were) treated everyone as equals. I, along with other who have wriiten, always enjoyed being around him when we were younger, and because of his honesty and kind, gentle demeanor, I always admired him. I offer my deepest condolences in this difficult time.
My deepest sympathy goes out to the Fair family as you struggle through the grief and sadness. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
So sorry to hear about Andy’s passing. I went to school with him & although I did not know him well, he was always nice to me. My thoughts & prayers go out to his family…may you find comfort in your memories of him, for with them, he will always be with you. God Bless
