View all 12 ReflectionsYour son was my brother's best friend. He was a regular in our household growing up. You would have been most proud of him. He joined the LA Sheriff's Dept. and dedicated himself to creating a memorial that would finally acknowledge your heroism while off duty. He had your eyes. I believe he also had your heart. There were two Michael Joseph McAndrews that left a mark of true character in this world before they departed. I was lucky enough to know one of them. RIP
