Folks Of Interest HAMBANDY rembered.

I was at a show this weekend in Carbonear, Newfoundland and took a few pics of Andy's Model A. For those of you who knew Andy and contributed to this project you are not forgotten by Andy's family and the local car community. Thank you.

 

Great stuff.....keeping his spirit alive. I welled up a little.

 

R.I.P. hamb andy

 

Good stuff

 

I still have a hard time telling the story of HambAndy!

 

Andy was such a great kid and brought a lot of Hamber's together for a wonderful cause.

He was a real trooper and his story,his courage despite his short time with us and his love of traditional hot rods made a lasting impression on me like so many others..We miss you HAMBANDY! HRP

 

Andy's parents presented the award for "The Best Hot Rod" which they thought Andy would have liked.

 

Thank you !

 

Hard to believe we lost Andy in 2009. HRP

 

doesn't seem that long ago. RIP Andy.

 

One of the coolest things ever done on the internet. When people tell you internet forums are bull shit, refer them to Andy's thread.

 

I think of him often when I get frustrated and want to give up on a project. He is one of my big hero's....

Well said Fred !!!!!

 

Great to see this! You just know he's smiling down on that.

 

Got something in my eye, dammit.

 

im glad to see his folks still have the car and are telling Andy's story

 

Damn straight. It certainly was one of the HAMB's finest hours.

 

WOW, time does fly.. Great to see the car is still being shown and Andy remembered..

 

I couldn't donate anything for Andy's car. I did create this memorial for him today on Find a Grave. I hope everyone likes it.

Everyone who worked so hard to make this young man's life a lot happier should feel very good about what they did. It is certainly a sad story but it would have been a lot sadder without all of the people who took him under their wings and fulfilled his dream.

RIP.

Don

 

We miss you Andy !!! sure dont seem it was that long ago.

 

Still brings tears to my eyes....RIP Andy

 

Thanks Coppertop for posting this and for keeping Andys memory alive.
He was a special hot rodder.

 

Not often I wish I lived in the US but to have helped out with Andys A it would have been great to be there. One little guy who deserved so much more from this world!

Doc.

 

I never got to meet Andy but this still brings tears to my eyes. One of the greatest things i have ever seen done by the greatest people in the world. I hope Andy will always be in everyone Memories.

 

Great thread, I was just a lurker on here when the car was built but I remember how great it was seeing a bunch of people come together to make his dream come true.

 

I would have liked to be able to say I had been part of helping Andy but it was before I was a HAMB member. Reading through the HAMBANDY threads really makes me extra proud to be part of the HAMB and as someone stated, this seems to have been the HAMBs finest hour. You all are good people for pulling together and fulfilling this young hot rodders dream. Life can be so darned tragic but the goodness that was shown will shine on forever.

 

True,but you stood tall when our pal Rick needed help! HRP

 

I can't believe its been that long. What a great kid and what a great story on just how awesome the H.A.M.B. really is. R.I.P. Andy

 

Thanks Danny.
