He developed many contacts and knew many people wherever he went. One of his favorite get- aways was Ludington, Michigan where he was at peace on Lake Michigan. In his youth, he enjoyed playing baseball and soccer and in later years became a fan of both along with other sports too. Andre loved to hunt. Both wild game and collecting sports cards and other memorabilia. A big fan of Eastern Market, he enjoyed going there just to visit and look around. He will be missed by his friends and family so very much. A memorial is planned for a later date. Please visit www.rudyfuneral to leave a message or to share a memory and light a candle.
