Theresa and family, Andy epitomized Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron and name of our 4th Degree Knights of Columbus Assembly. When I last visited him, I came away feeling like I had been consoled, as opposed to me having consoled him. Truly, in his death, he has been born to eternal life.
Ben Gurian
Theresa. I guess I knew at the restaurant when you told us his cancer had returned I wouldn’t be seeing Andy again but I prayed for him daily hoping for a miracle. God took him way too young. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. May the Lord make his light eternal to shine upon him. Ben.

Teresa so very sorry for your loss. God took the best individual and stand-up most honest man I ever knew in Andy to fulfill a bigger role I’m sure.
He watches over us all now in a much bigger role that God has given him to fulfill.
Andy was a inspiration and a great sole and a great friend to me. He will be missed dearly by all who were lucky enough to grace his presence.
