In Memories of AmericanChopper

I just found out the news from Andrew's (aka Americanchopper) close friend Amy via email about an hour ago. Right now, my mind is still in complete shock and I am numb like I still cant believe it. Now, my mind is racing with my memories of my friendship with Andrew.

I met Andrew about 4 years ago and we have become close even after he moved back to Boston from MD to be with Kalista. He quit his job and gave up everything to be with Kalista for a better life. I am so happy that he had the chance to marry her cuz that was all he ever wanted to do for a long time.

Andrew was a very sweet man and had the gentlest heart I have ever seen. I feel blessed to be considered one of his good friends even though we grew apart in the last year since we both got married and busy with our new lives. He sent me an email last week saying that he saw my picture in the deafdc.com website and how cute I looked being fat. When we hung out, I was extrememely skinny and he was struggling to lose weight and then in the past year, I gained weight while he lost weight so he was joking as in like "hahahaha now your turn to be fat." I never replied cuz I was busy at the time and forgot about it. Now, I wish I replied. I learned a lesson...DO NOT DELAY in replying to your loved one's messages cuz there may not be a tomorrow. I am crying as I type this cuz I feel so awful but I wanted to share with you what a wonderful man he was.

Kalista, we never got a chance to meet but I will tell u this...he loved u with all his heart even being away from u. I am soooo sooo sorry for this loss and I feelll a lot of pain for u. Pls email me or PM me if u need someone to talk to.

Pls tell Andrew's mother that I am sooo sorry for her loss. I wish I had a way to contact her but this is the only way I know of.

Love always
Shel
 
I read Kalista's email the other day and read it for the 4th time then it finally sunk in my head. I just can't believe it... About 10 years ago we met through deafchat and realized we were neighbors, but never ever met each other. He was a student at Pittsburgh at the time and he was visiting here with his family, but we never got to meet. Now I wish we had. We're New England Patriots supporters and we'll always think of Andrew...


My thoughts and prayers are with you Kalista and your sons.
