Doc Smoot says
We were deeply saddened (and shocked) to hear of Andre’s passing on Monday. Dre was a caring person and always found time to reach out to family (and friends). He would always make a point to call or make annual visits down south. We were looking forward to seeing him soon, either in Racine or here in Slidell. Words fall short of expressing our sorrow for the loss of a brother and friend…, but as you know, God has the last word. Please know that those that were closest to him are in our prayers during this difficult time. RIP Dre!
The Smoot family of Slidell…

Andre, a longtime yard conductor, will be remembered by his fellow railroaders in Milwaukee and elsewhere for his unique sense of humor and incisive wit. A day working with Tuck was never boring, and often memorable. Take care brother Andre, and may you Rest In Peace.

Marvin Peterson says
At a loss for words. Tuck was my main man for the time we spent in the Military. From Basic Training at Fort Benning, GA to 3 years at Ft. Ord. You missed the trip to Korea but you were right there when we returned it we picked up as if we never left. I will never the forget to talks we shared about our homes while on guard duty. “Telling lies to make the time go faster”. We had some times in CA. and to google your name and find this has me stuck right now. May you rest in Peace and for your family and friends I pray for comfort and peace. MANCHU
