I am very sad to hear about Andy. He had contacted me in 2011 - a long time since high school. Wish I could have known him all these years.
So sorry, Eric and Lenny.

Fondly remembering the great parties in the backyard in the late 1980's and the fantastic time everyone had at our wedding in Nov. 1994 due to the great entertainment that was provided by Ric Mitchell and his co-host and best friend Bruno. What an absolutely great guy & friend he has been to many especially here in The Capital District of Upstate NY. throughout the last 3 decades if not longer. We can still picture Bruno doing the hand-jive and the electric slide at our wedding and we sure know that he is teaching St. Peter and all the gang up at & beyond the Pearlie Gates of Heaven these 2 dances and more. We're sure that he will continue to be a hit in his afterlife as he certainly was down here on good old planet Earth for so many happy years. Bruno, thanks for all the memories that you & Ric made for so many of us throughout the years. May you RIP buddy! Our sincere condolences to both Bruno's family & many friends in this time of grief & sorrow for you all.

Lenny and Eric, I was very sad to hear of Andy's passing. Please accept my condolences.

While it would take too much space to recount all the events and memories surrounding our friendship; suffice to say I was blessed to have him as a friend.

He was truly a creative driven personality and didn't always buy into the traditional thinking that the best way to get from point A to point B was via a direct line.

His great gift was that he made people feel better and happier about themselves. I'm not quite sure how he did that, and I'm not so sure he even know he was doing it; but it was a wonderful trait to have.

So while I am sad that Andy has physically moved on; in my mind he is still here with us and I know I am a better person for having known him.

Please be at peace.

RIP, old friend. I will miss talking and laughing with you. You were a great partner and your personality affected a lot of people. But I'm relieved that you will no longer be in such pain.

Eric & Lenny, I am so sorry for your
loss. When Ric let me know early
that morning that Andy had passed,I
immediately felt so empty. I have
known him for years, first meeting
him through Ric and have many good
memories to hold on to. He was a
good man and a good friend to me.
May he rest in peace.
