Dear Mrs. D'Andrea, Mary Louise, Francesca & Dorothy,
My family & I were recently in Maine visiting and were very saddened to learn of Dr. D'Andrea's recent passing. It led to a very spirited discussion of how compassionate he was as a physician and how his patients thrived because of it. He was truly a great healer, and always appeared to be a wonderful father & husband.
Please accept our deepest sympathies & condolences.
Respectfully,
Lynnda Tibbetts Macisso & Michael Macisso

Dear Norma and Francesca: Please accept my condolences on Dr. DiAndrea's passing.
With great fondness I remember your arrival in Portland in the early 1950s
and your visits to our home.My mother, Kay Kelley, a nurse at Mercy had great
respect and admiration for Dr. D'Andrea. When she passed away 10 years ago one of the first persons to offer me his condolences was Tony D'Andrea. I promise you that I will pray for Dr. D'Andrea
and these promises I always keep.
Kindess regards to you both,Dorothy and Mary Louise.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
