    Andy Salvaggio

    Guys,

    I just wanted to check in with all of you reference Andy's current condition. Many of you check or have e-mails sent to you from the CaringBridge site. Per Karen's last post of September 1st, the brain tumor is back and growing, with little or no options on halting the growth. Karen and I spoke today, and She wanted me to past along to all of you, how much its meant to Andy, Karen, and the family, your continuous and boundless, prayers and support during this difficult time. Karen also wanted to pass along, that many of the trials we have in life are a reminder that we can ill afford to waste even one day of our lives, not doing what brings us closer to our families and friends. That life is a journey, and to enjoy it, you have to be moving to a new destination every day, with occasionally stopping to smell the roses.

    Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
    Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you take the wall with you.

    Oh no Hank!!! That is terrible. Please let Karen and Andy know they are in our prayers. Karen is correct though, "we can ill afford to waste even one day of our lives".

    Hank, that is horrible news, please let them know we are thinking of them. Karen seems to have amazing perspective given all they have been through.

    What a shame, but I'm so glad I got to meet him and Karen at Huntington Beach this year. My thoughts and prayers are with them both during this unbelievably hard time...

    That just sucks. I have never been lucky enough to have met Karen or Andy but think of them every day as I read Hanks updates. Their spirit and outlook on life is inspiring and I continue to hope for the best possible outcome.

    Our courageous and wonderful Andy passed into the loving hands of our Lord this afternoon. He was at peace, and through the kindness of so many over the last weeks and months, he left us knowing how much he was loved. We know his loving mother, father, and sisters, as well as Robert, Paul, Ralph, and so many of our friends who passed before him, were there to receive him with the greatest of love. Our family is deeply saddened in our loss, but find solace in knowing he has now found true peace.

    Andy was indeed an exceptional man, and he will forever be my hero. He lived an amazing life, and I count myself fortunate to have shared nearly twenty years with this man. Words will never fully express our family's gratitude for the unwavering love and support we've received from our family and friends. Thank you for your prayers and kindness.....We are truly blessed

    Sincerely and with warmest regards...........................Karen
