To the entire Tabak family,
Andy was a wonderful gentleman. My siblings and I will always remember all of you growing up with your dogs and the funny stories related to them. I know my dad would perk up when Andy came by to visit. He was so thoughtful and considerate. May all your good memories sustain you at this time.
