10 years may seem like a long time but to the loved ones left behind seems like yesterday. My heart and prayers are with all the Sperr's on a very sad anniversary. Dave and I are heading to DC this May for part of Police Week. God bless . I am thinking of you all. Love Kathy Corr

The area I used to fish as a boy and grew up just up Lowe road on the farm, a "safe haven" forever changed for my memory after this tragic day 10 years ago. Although we never met in person, we all share the calling we chose and I think of the many times so many of us have made those same "unknown" contacts not knowing all the facts but doing our jobs and protecting. Sadly some turn tragic, but are never routine as some outsiders think. I visit your memorial whenever I am back home, so peaceful & reflect, and know you are missed by so many, family, officers & community. We have lost too many brothers, sisters over the years. Things are pretty rough right now and society has changed a lot. I pray for my boys that also chose our calling and I know you are watching over us all, active and retired. Rest in Peace my friend, a true hero who was prepared and gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Just sitting here remembering how Andy would make me run with him on the farm in Bellvale. Remembering how much he loved his Ford Ranger trucks. He had two different ones when he worked at SP Monroe. The canoe was always strapped over the back of one of them. How we had to stand together on the O and R Lakes in sub zero temps drilling holes so we could ice fish. Then how we would fish out of his canoe up on the twin lakes by 6 and 293. Remembering his famous crock pot and him cooking up some concoction of what he had hunted or trapped for us to eat at the barracks. I remember how KB and Chris appreciated having a training volunteer all the time. He loved being chased by KB. I remember Michele and I eating a wild turkey dinner with him and his girlfriend. I remember how a little bit of drinking could make him as silly as a 5 year old at Disney World. I remember chuckling whenever we had exchanged our latest stories about what Al or Don had done that day. I just remember how we were hardly ever angry with one another. I remember how much he enjoyed being at my dad's gas station and exchanging stories with my dad and always telling his work stories. Andy was always modest but liked to exaggerate to my parents with any story involving me. Andy transferred up to Troop E, SP Horseheads, from SP Monroe in Troop F. Andy was always an SP Monroe guy. Andy and I had a reunion down in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina a few months before he was killed. He was one of 7 in a squad I supervised there. It was like we had never been apart from one another. A true brother in my NYSP world. I remember him always there when I needed back up on a stop or at some crazy complaint. I never had to call for help. He was just there. I always think about that day upstate in Big Flats ten years ago, I wish I could have been there for him. Andy had a heart of gold and a smile I can never forget. Shield 2848, a hero forever...my hero. God Bless Andy and thanks for keeping me safe.

Lastly, I remember every uniform member from SP Monroe traveling upstate with me to bid a farewell to our brother. I was never prouder of my Monroe Troopers on that sad day.

I miss my Brother every day. It doesn't really get easier as the years pass…I've never bought into the idea that time heals wounds, not when it's this deep. Love you always.

It is hard to believe 9 years have gone by. You have not been forgotten in Louisiana where you came to help after hurricane Katrina. Rest in Peace Brother. Until we meet again.

Andy,

WOW thinking of you today. It was cold as hell the day we met when you were just a young guy coming on. Car deer on Ridge Road and you calmed down that little girl that was driving. I knew then you would be great!

I was in Afghanistan when you were taking from us and never had that chance to say good bye as all the others did. How strange the world is as I am overseas being shot at and rocketed and mortared daily but I am still here to talk about it.

Just know I miss you brother and love you!

Andy,

Been staring at a portrait of you in my office for the past few months. One of the Palmers painted it; and it's a very good likeness. I prefer it to your Recruit photo; although they both respond about as much as you did, while I laugh at my own jokes. I think we're going to ask Elmira College to hang it in their Criminal Justice Department.
I spoke with Lisa this week; she always makes me think of you. She seems like she's doing pretty well; and it's nice to know there's life after the job. We've also recently gotten some new recruits; the guys have been taking them to the park, and telling them about you. I think you'd really like them. There are a couple that really remind me of you; one in particular. He's a real good kid. The other kids are all growing up; going off to school, getting married. Please watch over all of these kids when you get the chance.
I don't know why; but I feel like picking scabs tonight. I still miss you terribly. We should be meeting up for lunch; or calling each other for help on a case. But, I'm sure you're working on bigger stuff now. I figure you gotta be on some kind of Saint Michael task force by now. I guess the point of this E-Mail is to let you know that, although I'm thankful that Lowe Road isn't the first thing I think of every morning, and the last I think of at night, I think of you several times throughout every day; and during every decision I make. You were the best of us brother; and be assured, that you are not forgotten.
Now enough sadness; go watch over the A-line, and I'll go clean off my snot and tears. Be good; and know that we all still love you very much.

As I sit down and write this, I cannot help but think about the last 8 years and how your death has changed many of our lives. None of us are the same people we were before March 1, 2006. We will not mourn your death today, but we honor your life and the legacy that you left behind. And we will continue to keep your family, friends, colleagues at SP HHDS and Sue and the girls in our thoughts and prayers. May you continue to rest in peace Andy. God Bless!
