Andrew Charles Mullen May 1982 – Aug 2006
• Andrew introduces himself on a web based game site:
“My real name is Andrew. I currently live with my long-time girlfriend in Windsor, ON. Canada but am originally from a small city by the name of Sault Ste. Marie, ON…I live an average life in this average world and am currently content with that. For now at least.”
• “I added Andrew’s death to his entry in the family history tonight. I started researching the family history about 5 years ago in order to give my sons a link to where we came from.”
• A youtube video tribute from his friends and his brother.
