Dear Andy's family,
Sorry to hear of your Father's passing.
He was a very active person at work and his personal time. I worked with him for 10 years at the local Social Security office. He had amusing stories to tell. He was a nice Gentleman.
God Bless you all.

My condolences to the family. May the God of all comfort strengthen and sustain you during this difficult time through prayer. (1Thessalonians 5:17)

My sincere condolences to Andy's family at this difficult time. I had the pleasure of knowing him for a long time. In readingthe obituary I remember him telling me about the Hall of Fame Induction for basketball, so I guess I've known him since before 1994. I've heard many stories of his family and know how much he enjoyed dancing,as my husband and I saw him at the many dances we attended. He was a very special person. Looks like there was a lot I didn't know about him.
RIP my friend!

Sheila, Dennis & family,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time.

Thank you for your service to our country. Listening to Bobby Gunther Walsh speak of you this morning I wish I had been blessed with knowing you. You are the truest example of an American Hero Rip

Mr. O'Donnell was one of my favorite patients for many years. He had a ready smile and a great story every time he came to get his dental check-up. I will miss him as will the other members of the staff at Dr. Rother's. Here's to a life well-lived!

My deepest sympathies to my long lost family that I remember often. I literally just thought of Uncle Andy and Aunt Helen last week, while recalling the many summer weeks I spent with all of you as a child. I am traveling on the West Coast, so regretfully I will not be able to attend services, however I have a home in Bethlehem and would love to reconnect with you all. I am now an orphan as well, and understand all too well how important family near and far can be.

Andy was a great person. He was always calm with an impish look, making us wonder what was really going on. We had lots of fun with him in office and at out of office functions. He will be very much missed.

To Andy's family,
My sincere sympathies to the O'Donnell survivors. I worked with Andy at Social Security for MANY years, me actually 43+ years. He was quite a character, amusing and even made homemade sausage! He kept us in stitches at work!! He always seemed to enjoy life to the fullest! I am sure he is entertaining ABOVE!
