Andrew Phipps

Chuck and Ann: I knew Andrew through Anne as a teacher. Always through her eyes of a polite, kind, and caring young child that Anne thought the world of. When he came with Ann to the house one night to have dinner I met a young adult finding his way to his life. He still was a polite, kind and caring person, but now add he was growing up and it was awesome to sit and talk and share a meal with him. I am so saddened at his physical death and I am even more so that I can not offer anything to make this pain less. Just know he was a special man and we will always remember him and your love for him! Steve

So many stories, but my absolute favorite one involves a hose. I was looking out the window as Ann and I were talking on the phone and around the corner of her house comes Andrew wearing his yellow boots, a cowboy hat and carrying a garden hose (and it was on full blast). I thought he was going to water the herb garden, but instead, he whipped open the screen door and went inside with the running hose. I heard the phone drop and saw all three (Ann, Andrew and the hose) come back outside. She picked up the phone and told me he would be coming over to my house for awhile so she could soak up all the water on the carpet. He stomped over through the yards and he was not happy that the hose had been taken away. I still laugh about that story and send all my love, prayers, thoughts and hugs to Ann, Chuck, Sam and Graham. Love you, Amy Skaj

Memories

I'm So sorry to hear this Chuck. Prayers are with you my friend. Haven't seen you in years but think about you often.

Dear Phipps family, Some of my favorite memories of Andrew were when I would drive over to Amy's house and all the boys would run out to me yelling, "Aunt Ticky is here!" They would help me unload all the junk food I brought. Andrew would always say "thanks Aunt Ticky" He made me feel like I was his real aunt and I loved it! may God bless all of you and my prayers are with you all. love, "Aunt Ticky"
