I can still remember what a great supporter Andy was of us kids, our education and our athletics while growing up in the mid 70's. In particular, I remember several intramural tournaments he set up between his students at his middle school in Lakeville and our Duxbury teams. I can't even remember what particular sports (basketball and football, I believe) or who won. It didn't matter. Andy set up the opportunity and made us all feel great for participating. I will miss him but the memories remain forever. My best to you, Michael, and the rest of your family.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked for Andy in Easton as a special educator and school psychologist, and I will always remember him as a wonderfully supportive principal, role model, and mentor for a younger teacher. May your memories bring you peace.

Andy was a very special person. Had no idea that he had done all these great things over his long lifetime. Andy and Suzanne were a perfect couple and it was always clear how much love they shared. Andy will be missed. Love, Sheila Mello and Larry Smetana

Andy was one of the good guys. He was so modest that after knowing him for 13 years, we never knew of all of his accomplishments. We will always hold fond memories of our times at White Cliffs with Andy and Suzanne.
