So sorry to hear about Andy. My wife Patti (Cioni) and I graduated with Andy. I also played HS football with him. He and your family will be kept in our thoughts and prayers! -Michae & Patti Schassburger
Peggy and family, my condolences to you on Andy’s passing. I enjoyed Andy’s friendship over the years and will miss him, as will his numerous golf buddies. I’m very glad he was able to attend our golf week down in Florida this past March so that we could catch up with each other. May Andy Rest In Peace. -Frank Kubina
We had the pleasure of knowing Andy and Peg when their wonderful daughter, Ashley, married our son, David. Andy's welcoming nature and easy smile are what we will remember with fondness. He was taken from all of you far too soon. May the memories of happy times with the husband, father, and grandfather you loved, and who loved you, bring you some measure of comfort. -Paul & Mary Ruth Kacmarik
