So sorry for the lost of your dear loved one. During this difficult time please continue to trust in the God of all Comfort. Acts 17:27 says "God is not far off from each of us". Also Revelation 21:3,4 tells us that "...He will wipe out every tear from our eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore..."

I am so grateful to have met Andy some 20 years ago and have had the honor of being a close friend at one time. He was a cheerful, larger than life individual who helped many people along his journey in life. I mourn the loss of seeing him from time to time and I treasure the many memories I have of him. I know he is wisecracking with Jesus and we will all be in his club some day. Prayers for comfort to those he loved dearly especially Sara.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Chitty family. Andy always had a smile that would light up the room and friendly to everyone. Rest in peace Andy

Words fail me right now.... Andy had become a success not only in occupation...but in how he raised and took care of his daughter. It truly hurts my heart to no end to know he has left us. A good man....awesome father..a mentor...always there to lend a hand. I am proud beyond words to have called him brother in law. I know God has prepared a place for Andy in his house. My life is truly enhanced from having had Andy in my life. He is truly missed but I know we will all come together again one day. David Fuller Anderson Brother in Law.

God Bless Andy. Thank you for sharing your life and experience with us here in Savannah. And thank you for helping my son and his young family during the time y'all were working together. God Bless Sara and the rest of the family as they honor you and all the good and beautiful memories they have of you. Peace Be With You, Always....

I am heartbroken and in total disbelief. You were such a good father to our precious daughter Sara. You taught her so much, you instilled good morals, values, and mental fortitude so she would grow to be a good person and depend on only herself. Mostly, you loved her with every breath and you ultimately wanted the best life for her. She is well on her way. The best part, she is a carbon copy of you. I am proud of that. I am grateful we had 10 years together and for the moments I shared with you most recently during difficult times. I never could stand to see you hurt. RIP Andy Love always, Debbie

To my dearest Sara, I am so taken aback with the news of your fathers passing. It seems like just yesterday that we were sitting on the porch laughing, and talking about our attending church. I am so totally heartbroken, even more that my brother and friend is gone. God help us all during this walk in the valley. He will forever be remembered for the great person he is to all of us. God keep you and your family.
