You will find other stores from Andrew in the future but this is a small part of one he sent to us last year and I am trying to get a few posted today.

Writing that piece (pirates story) is about the closest thing I've come to being able to fully talk about his passing, and I don't think I'll ever truly comprehend the massive effect he's had in shifting my life to a course I can be proud of.
He has become an insurmountable inspiration to behold and understood what it means to be a man, even if he wasn't so outwardly sure of himself. In my daily life, I find myself often holding my tongue when I feel I want to say something hurtful or remain calm when I don't feel like I have patience because I think to myself, "Correy wouldn't do this." And more than anything, he taught me about loyalty. He was the only person I knew whose loyalties knew no bounds. I've had others tell me of when they were left all alone by friends who had left them behind, Correy was the sole person to stand his ground by their side proudly. And seeing that kind of loyalty in action has changed so much for me. He has set me back on a path to become a person I can be happy with staring in the mirror, and I can't count how many times I have wished I had realized that when I could tell him all about it over a beer.
