Joanne, I just found out yesterday, I'm so sorry. What great times we had playing football, softball and golf. The guy just made you feel good being around him. Everytime I saw him he would say "Randy you never change" I'm gonna miss that, I loved him like a brother.

To My Dear Cousin Joanne,Your precious Children, Grand Children, Family and Loved Ones, I was so devastated when Aunt Claire called my Mom yesterday to tell her the sad news of Andy's passing!! I cannot express enough my heartfelt sympathy for your tremendous Loss!! As I tried to absorb the awful news, I was flooded with wonderful memories of growing up and the summers my family..the Moriarty clan of 6 kids traveled from Florida to Massacusetts to see the Piekarski family clan with their 6 kids.. and in the midst was Andy.. always there and such a fitting part of the Piekarski family!!! He was always kind, funny, generous and made you feel right at home!! Those times are great memories!! When I spent a summer up north after my highschool graduation, I can still remember Andy, who was always there to lend a helping hand; giving me a ride to the train station to go back to Medford, Mass. We talked about the years flying by and the good times the Piekarski and Moriarty families always had during our summer visits and what may lie ahead for me in my future endeavors!! Then Tommys' wedding where we were able to stay with you and Andy, it was great!! And then there was Stevens' wedding in Florida with my Piekarski family and Andy and Joanne there and having such a great time and even though it had been years since I had seen everyone, it was like just yesterday... like bieng home!! Again, Andy there larger than life in the midst of it all, with his sense of humor... we laughed so much..it was a great time!! I could go on and on!! So... this is what I will hold on to and remember when I think of Andy! The good times and wonderful memories of a such a wonderful man, a good man!! He will remain in my heart as he will in all those who loved him and knew him and in that sense he will always remain with us because someone so special is truly unforgettable!! Joanne, I wish it would have been possible to have been there with you and the family right now to help support all of you but even though miles seperate us physically, be assured of my love for you and for all the family and that I am with you in heart and spirit and will keep you especially, as well as all the family and loved ones in my thoughts and prayers; that God will provide you with peace, comfort and healing grace!!! My Mom asked me to send you her love, sympathy and prayers as well!! Much Love, Your Cousin Mary

"Do not stand at my grave
and weep.
I am not there I do not
sleep.
I am a thousand winds
that blow,
I am diamond glints
on snow.
I am the sunlilght on ripened
grain,
I am the gentle autumn's
rain,
When you awaken in the
morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting
rush,
Of quiet birds in circled
flight,
I am the soft star the
Shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave
and cry,
I am not there,
I did not die."

To my Godfather,
Growing up through the years I had the opportunity to be part of something very special… FAMILY. I remember the days at Yia-Yia’s and Papou’s house on Charles Street. All of the kids would be in the back yard playing sports with you and my father. I remember the special times at Greek Easter and New Years when our families would get together and celebrate. But most importantly I remember the countless times that you and Joanne were there for me and my family, whether it was talking about perspective job opportunities, the kids sports or helping me install lights in “Mantown”. One of the easiest decisions I had to make was choosing you as the Godfather of my youngest daughter Meghan, even though it was a short time, I know that you will have an imprint on Meghan’s life for years to come. One thing that I am very thankful for is that you and my father had the opportunity to go to Greece, the bond that you two had can not be replicated. My family’s hearts and prayers are with Joanne (Nouna), John, Kerry, Billy and there families.

Dear Joanne,and family My brother Lenny called me in Florida and told me of Andy's passing. Needless to say I was shocked. Andy will be missed by everyone whose lives he touched. I will always remember the football and softball we played together ,and when he would stop when I was working a traffic detail and spend time with me talking about what was going on in our lives. MY condolences to you and the family. I'm sorry I can't be there for the services. It seems like only yesterday we were all in High School together.

Dear Joanne & Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Andy was a special person who I met when I first started at New England Telephone 21 years ago. He had a tremendous ability to connect with people, be supportive, and guide them. He was never more proud than when he spoke of his family. He always knew what was most important. I am so sorry for your loss.

John and Family-

I'm so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. John, you and your Dad shared a very special friendship, one that will never be replaced. We lost my Dad 8 months ago and not a day goes by that I don't miss talking with him about sports or life in general. Your family's strength and love will get you through this incredibly difficult time. My thoughts are with you.

Dear Joanne, Family and Friends,
I'm so sorry Andy has died. Though we knew he was very sick, the news hit me like I was in the ring at the Golden Gloves. Whenever I speak of Andy, I always say he was one of very few people, who, when he said he was glad to see me, made me feel HE WAS GLAD TO SEE ME. The feeling was always mutual. I'll always treasure the times we've all shared. I know you know it, but we've lost a wonderful man; but, our lives have been blessed by having known him.
I wish you all peace of mind and hope that it won't be long before happy memories replace the tears and anguish of today.
Love always,
Linda
