Leave a tribute for Andy McCree Hern.
RIP Sir. Andy will be missed.
Prayers for the family. Andy did some awesome photography work for me over the years. He will be greatly missed by all.
My Dear Joy and Family. Andy was a good man! He captured my wedding in pictures 40 years ago this May. He made memories for so many. My deep sympathy and gratitude for his life. Blessings as you move forward without him - Nancy
Sorry for your loved ones! He did a lot of pictures at NCSD for long time! He is not more suffering!
My sincere condolences to Andy's family. I remember the first time I met him. It was at the old Grace Hospital. We both became parents the first week of March 1972. He was making a joke about our daughter having "all that long hair" and that they should charge us more for combing it. He was certainly a friendly person saying hello every time he saw me. May God bless each of you during this most difficult time in your lives. You remain in my most sincere prayers.
I was so saddened to learn of Andy's passing. I have know him my entire life and such a good man and person to be around. And amazing photographer. He also loved his church and we/they loved him. Rest in Peace my friend and know the works you done here on Earth were pleasing to the Lord. Your Friend, Pam

So sorry to learn of Andy's passing. I have many of his great photographs of my grandchildren. I always look & think of him when I pass his studio. He had a gift entertaining for getting the best of children & weddings. Prayers for comfort for all who love him. Sonya England
