Dear Family,
I met Perry a short time ago while he was having lunch with his dear friends at the Olympia. Although I didn't know him very well, I do know that his friends loved him dearly. Meeting him was a very pleasant and happy experience. My deepest sympathy to his family from the Vlahos family, (Clara, Jimmy and Harriet)

Gerry,
We just heard of your loss. Our hearts and prayers go out to you and Alyssa. Such a loss to all of us on Garland Road. I so looked forward to meeting up with him when I walked Maise. He was truly one of the kindest and most caring individuals I had the honor of knowing. I can't imagine not seeing him walking the circle or working in your yard. We would have been there to say our goodbyes but are still away. Know that we are thinking of you at this very sad time. We will never ever forget Andy.

Dear Gerry; Alyssa, Jeff, and Olivia.
I worked with Andy every Friday at the Club Lafayette. I feel like I know you all through the stories Andy shared with me.
His phone would ring, his eyes would light up and he would have a smile from ear to ear, guessing if it was going to be his beautiful wife, or his loving daughter. Our conversations were always about his girls, including his Olivia, he adored her. Jeff , Andy was so thankful for such a great son-in-law.
My wish for you all is that you find comfort in your heart and soul during this most difficult time.
Andy you were my Buddy, I will miss. RIP.
Your Friend, Jeannie

There's a new angel in Heaven and his name is Andy.....He was truly a gentle man and there is no doubt in my mind that there is quite a party going on in Heaven today and Andy was probably handed an apron to help prepare the Greek pastries. Gerry and Alyssa, you can look forward to a beautiful reunion some day. Until then, hold on to all of your precious memories - they will help you smile again.

Dear Gerry, Alyssa, and Jeff,
It was an honor to have Andrew as our best man, and Godfather to both of our children. There was never a doubt in our minds as to who had the character and devotion to fill those shoes. Our hearts will always remember him fondly as welcoming, friendly and uplifting. This world will never feel the same without him with his generosity and compassion. His presence will definitely be missed. May you find peace in your hearts with the memories.
Sincerely, Doreen & Coe
