I stopped by my local skate shop to see my friends as soon as I found out and we were all shocked. The dude lived so many lives and was still strong, to go this way is quite unfortunate.
RIP Kess.

WOW! I can't believe it! I have known Andy for many years. I remember the Heroin days as well. I remember attending NA meetings with him and NA groups at his place on 72st. I'm sadened that it only took a bee sting to end his life....he will always be a legend.
