I didn't always agree with him, but I respected him. Well, MOST of the time I
did agree with him......OK, almost all the time. R.I.P.

If you look up "curmudgeon" in the dictionary, Andy's picture is there.  I always looked forward to his commentaries.

RIP, Andy. angel

R I P Mr Rooney. There will be a definite void without your commentaries. He made me chuckle a time or 3 in my life. RIDE SAFE.

Andy was my favorite part of the show.
Another American Icon/legend lost.

He was like that weird uncle that always complained, but made you smile and refect a bit on what was really important,...Life, and how we treat others.
