    I enjoyed meeting Andrew through his good friend for 35 years and my neighbor Mr. Bill Gay. Andrew enjoyed coming over and seeing my Moroccan handmade rugs and sipping on Moroccan mint tea as he told me it reminded him of his father who sold Persian rugs back in the 20’s and 30´s in Charlotte.
    May God have mercy on him.
