Dear Rita, Caitlin, Nicole, Paul & Brian,
I have just read Keith's note to you and have to agree with everything he has expressed about Andy. He always welcomed us and always tried to help us enjoy our visits to NJ. I remeber when Keith was little Andy wanted him to stay over and he took him to Louie's for soup (at 3 in the morning). When Wende was getting married he was totally involved and excited calling and trying to find things she would needd and want. The packages seemed to come daily! Always keeping up with her police work and her love for the Yankees. I am so sorry that the weather didn't permit me to come. It was hard not being you in person but I was there with you in my heart. God Bless Bonnie Guerin

Dear Rita, Caitlin, Nicole, Paul, and Brian,
I just wanted to express my thoughts on how much Andy will be missed by our family. I remember when I first met Andy on a trip to New Jersey, and I felt welcomed into your family by all. Andy even took me to Toys R Us to get a GI Joe figure. I remember him always writing me and sending me articles about surfing, as I had expressed interest in the sport while visiting. He kept in contact with me through my years in college, and he always asked me how the waves were. Unfortunatly there is a big hurricane off the coast which would not allow me to fly up for the funeral, but I am sure that is Andy, and him making some great waves.
This shows the kind of person Andy truely was, always concerned with the well being of others. I hope to be that kind of father to my daughters as well.
Please take forth this in your lives, and know that he will be missed, but will always remain a part of us.
Love Always,
Keith Guerin
