We were deeply saddened when we heard of Andre's passing. Both of my sons wrestled with the Thibault's in Halsted, but we moved away to Florida last summer. Riley was heartbroken when we moved because he didn't want to leave his friend Andre. He had such a positive influence on Riley's life. He was an amazing little guy, who always had a smile on his face. After our move to Florida, we continued to track the Thibault's accomplishments through USAWKS. We were so excited of the great season all of them were having thus far. Riley was fortunate to talk to Andre online the night before he passed...wrestling as the main topic! Our thoughts and prayers are with the Thibault family. We thank the Lord for blessing us with Andre the GIANT.
