Fossum family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's so difficult to understand or describe, i worked with Andy for 14 years and became good friends over the years. He will be so missed. I'll always remember the problems we solved and the laughs we had. Take care. No more late shipments Andy.

I was so saddened to hear of Andy´s passing last night. I worked alongside him a as photographer. Many nights in Hollywood there were laughs, photos, crazy selfies, you name it! Very down to earth guy. I send my condolences to his family. May you find comfort in knowing that he was liked by many and brought smiles to our faces during his time here in LA.

To Andy's family, I was so sad to hear of his passing, and I'm so sorry for your loss. Many years ago, I worked events with Andy in Los Angeles before he moved back to Iowa. Genuine down to earth people were rare in that business, and I was sad to see him go back home. I have very fond memories of palling around with him while we were working. He was such a funny, soft spoken, overall nice guy, and he will be truly missed.

I worked with Andy for the summer in 2000 after he graduated from Prairie. We were a raucous pair for College Community's Buildings and Grounds crew. He was hilarious! Dry wit with intelligence right behind it. Jackie, you've always been amazing. The Meski's are profoundly sad for what you and your family are going through. We wish you the best.
