Heartbroken over Andre’s loss. Cherishing the fond memories. You’re all in our thoughts during this difficult time.
I worked along side Andre for this time with BCH and shared many good times and laughs. He made some dismal projects enjoyable with his quick witty humour. He will be greatly missed by all whom were able to spend time with him. You are gone way too soon my friend. Rest easy
Devastated to see this news.
