my family will miss andy and will always keep him close to our hearts. i met andy through his brother marc (who i will always considered my best friend in this world)when he was still in high school. remembering then he drove a 1967 camaro. i can remember andy really wanted to open a restaurant/bar but really found that he was a great salesman...he told me once "hell..anyone can sell someone a honda accord..i can sell them a chevy citation!.. he had a great sense of humor, and even if meant being different he spoke his mind and was a true fan of the underdog..i think thats why he liked me.. i always said if andy needed something to do..hollywood would make a show about he & his brothers..we would all have watched.. andy--i hope to see you later in our next lifetime.. joe koegle & family.

Any hired me in the car business back in 978 when I just moved to Florida. I am the car guy I am today becuase of him. The first time I met andy was when He and his partner interviewed me to sell cars. Andy says " This guy aint no car salesman, he looks like a damn preacher". I got a little mad and then after I told him a choice words he sayas " now I like him, hire him " lol. I sense then stayed in the car business and moved up the ladder into managment. Andy taught me alot about selling cars. He and his family became friends and I would alwys stop bye his lot to say hi as he would then offer to buy me lunch. To this day I still owe Andy a big thank you for introducing me to a great business. I love you andrew,I will never ever forget about you. To the family... Laura and Marc , I miss you both and wished I could be there. Lots of love to you and your family. There is a few poeple up here in Maine that feel your pain, but know that he is home. RIP andy from "your little buddy"

I am so sorry to hear of A.P.'s passing. I knew him in High School and FB reconnected us these last few years. He truly was a humble man and it was great getting to know this Andy. Rest in Peace A.P. You surely will be missed. Wendy Pearse O'Brien
