Oh so many good memories my friend!! You were one of my first friends when I moved to the area in 6th grade. Our soccer shenanigans were epic, and just hanging out being wild and free. In the last few years we ran into each other, not as frequently as I would have liked, but you were so supportive when I was going through my divorice....
There is one story of Andy, that makes me laugh even today. We were one of the first travel soccer teams in our area, a bunch of backyard boys and myself called the Warknockers. We somehow were beating all these travel teams from the Detroit area in a tournament in Canton. We were in the championship game and loosing 0-2 at half. Our coach Jeff John took me aside and told me to figure out how to motivate everyone. So I told the team (of 8th grade boys) whoever scored first i would make out with. Low and behold, Andy scored 3 goals in about 25 min and we won the tournament 3-2. And yep, he got a big kiss. Love you my fellow free spirit and will miss you dearly.
I have fond memories of being neighbors with the Hulings in Fruitport in the 1980s with our houses directly across the street from each other. While Kristie and Tony were closer to my age, Andy was the youngest at the time.
I will never forget the picture in the good ole’ Fruitport Area News. We made the front page after a huge tree in a wind gust had fallen over onto their car and garage while we were playing ball in their driveway right underneath. I grabbed Andy in my arms since he was a toddler (Tony could run and I think he ran for miles before someone caught him!).
It made for a good neighborhood feel good story at the time (see the attached pic I still have). A cherished memory that will live on forever for me. The friendships of our youth may come and go, but those bonds and memories stick to our soul and I’m so grateful for those times even in the ups and downs.
My deepest sympathy and prayers to the Hulings and extended family for your loss. May God bless you and comfort you.
Jeff
We will cherish the time we got to spend with him camping in our yard. He had the best setup. I’d call get “glamping” with all the cool stuff he had. He definitely loved the outdoors and we will remember the great evening talks we shared with him.
