I am deeply sorry for your loss. I was Andrew's supervisor at Silgan Plastics for about three years and learned a lot about life while working with Andrew. He was a kind, compassionate and trustworthy person. He stayed true to who he was and never strayed away from the person he was. It was an absolute pleasure having known him and I will miss him deeply.
