Folks Of Interest Thank You (Hambandys Dad)

Thank you for sharing that with us

 

Dang it. I read this at work today about 11am. Had to make a quick trip to the bathroom and hideout while I cried for a while. Nobody here will ever forget about him or this post.

 

I wear my HAMB Andy shirt proudly. Your son won't be forgotten. What a special guy.

 

I ain't got the words, so I'll just use yours since they are spot on!

 

I wish you and your family all the best. You must be one tough *******.

 

Yes, Thank you for this display of strength. Alot of us out here need to see this in times like these. I always think ,"what?" when someone is called an inspiration. NOT TONIGHT! Andy was lucky to have a dad like you and we are lucky to have you here with us! Please come around, post pics of what ever you have or enjoy what all the guys on here are doing!

 

Andy has some good parents , and had many friends that cared about him.He was very lucky to have you as a dad. Been on my mind all day.

 

Didn't know of Andy untill after he p***ed. After reading this, I wish I'd known him better. You're a hell of a man for raising a son like that. God bless you and your family.

 

Dunnie:

That is the most touching post that I have ever read here, I'm in tears. I was impressed with Andy's courage but now I am doubly impressed. What a kid, we all loved him and cared for him. He is in a better place and no longer suffers.

Getting to know Andy and going through that whole process with him and his family was a huge honor to me. Thanks for painting this picture of his last moments - a really sweet way to go. All families should be this loving...

haven't broke up this bad since, thanks for sharring.

 

Someday, when I have kids I'll them the story of Hamb Andy. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Andy was an inspiration to us all. "LONG LIVE HAMB ANDY!"

 

Thanks for sharing Chris. That brought tears to my eyes.

 

One of the MOST moving things I've ever read.

Nick.

Thank you for posting this, it couldn't have been easy to type it out, let alone live through it. Like so many of the other guys have said, I've got tears rolling down my cheeks.

You must be very proud to have a son like Andy, I'm proud just to have my name on his dashboard.

All the best to you and your family.

 

I read a little when this first cam up, I had to come back to it as it is so hard to read.
I am so glad he had his family with him, it all right though there are many old hot rodders in heaven to continue his p***ion.

Doc.

 

RIP buddy, Thanks for sharing Dunnie...Your son lives on forever with those of us he inspired, he wasn't just a kid to us...he was our little brother, our mentee, the next hot rod generation...in reality, we as a collective whole, were far more touched by him...Hes throwing gears with the Big guy...laying the perfect set of stripes on those streets of gold...

 

It's not very often that one's purpose in life can be defined but in Andy it was obvious. One boy, put on this Earth, an innocent victim of a horrific disease, touched thousands of lives. All of us that were connected to Andy in our own way will forever be enrichened by his spirit. He humbled us all.

Godspeed Andy Dunn.

 

Sooooo true.......

His stories always brought me to my knees and asking "Why him Lord".
I am a better person to have know this young man even if it was only via the HAMB.

God Speed Andy......joe

 

wow.... not sure what to say....

 

btt

 

Wow, that was a heavy read....

Than you for sharing such a personal moment with us. No one knows what it is like to walk down such a path of adversity and then write about your experience. All the best to your family and thank you for introducing us to Andy......

God speed Andy.....

 

Took me a couple of goes to get through your letter, but thank you.
God bless you and your family.
Speed Safely, Martin.
