Andrew J. McGann Sr.

To McGann Family, a great Irishman, a devoted father and a great voice of the people. Some of the greatest oratory from Andy on the floor of the state legislature. If Andy said he was with you, you could bank on it. My father who was a livery man said there was nobody in the business that could compare with Andy during a service. He is in my prayers tonight.
A liveryman's son

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

Whenever Andy attended the outdoor mass in Sisters Lake, Michigan, everyone knew where to find him. He'd be sitting front row center, singing louder and praying harder than all the other parishioners. Mr. McGann was the only human being who could recite the sign of the Cross and mesmerize everyone with his dignity and devotion to Our Lord. He was a devoted husband and father, a gentle soul, a successful business man, a great politician and a generous human being. On behalf of our families,...

Our deepest sympathy to the entire McGann family in your time of loss. Andy was a loyal friend and a generous benefactor. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have enjoyed many cherished years together. Rose and I could not make it back to Chicago in time for the funeral, although our thoughts and prayers are with you. Andrew was the best!

Andy and company took care of my aunt and uncle: Betty (nee Gaudry) and Joe Mazurek of St. Catherine's in Oak Lawn. The legendary kindness and compassion everyone speaks of is quite real. Bye now, Andy, and God Love You!

Dear Liz and family,

Your father, grandfather was an honorable man. May you all carry on his legacy. My deepest condolences.

The entire Dooley family offers their prayers and condolences to the McGann Family. We grew up as neighbors to his brother Pat and Andy was always part of the backyard barbeques.
We are especially grateful to Andy for his help during the last months of our father's fight against cancer. He brought Joe Dooley peace and laughter and I am sure they are having a good Irish song together in heaven.

Dear Liz and Eileen:
We all have great memories of your Dad from growing up on Francisco Ave in St. Thomas More Parish. My family and I extend our sincere sympathy to you both and your extended families.

Sincerely,
Marge (Hogan) LaPapa
and entire Hogan clan.

My prayers and sympathy to the Andrew McGann Sr.family. I thank God for Andrew's steadfast faith, kindness and dedication as funeral director and friend. I pray that the Lord bless and console you at this time. A Mass will be said in his honor and for family.
