Diane & Family -
I just received the notice of your Dad's passing and just wanted to send my sincere condolences to you. He was a great coach during his tenure at AC.

Andy was a class act from start to finish, put Assumption on the collegiate basketball map, games against Providence, Holy Cross and the like. His legacy will live long with all the Greyhound family.

Eileen and I extend our sincere and deepest sympathies to you and your family on the passing of your father. He was a total professional in all his roles with Assumption athletics as well as caring role model to me and many of the class of 1969. I clearly remember the night that he won his 200 career victory and the humility that he demonstrated. May God Bless Andy Laska and his family
