Steve, you already have.

I've had mentors too and it's made me think about paying it forward lately - your openess has made me rethink a lot of things, Andy is proud of ya without a doubt for following his example.

Unfortunately, I only knew of him by reputation, never had the pleasure .

The tributes say a lot about the man, but they were also said often while he was still among us.

Rest easy, Andy.
