Not sure what to say?

I worked in the office at East Pennsboro High School. Andy was one of the best teachers there. My sons both took German and loved him. Any event at EP you could always depend on Mr. Petyak there supporting the students. A super person who will be missed. My condolences to the family. Diane Putt

I had Mr. Petyak for history in my 9th grade year at East Penn High (Class of 87). He was one of the teachers I had that helped to break me out of my shell. He also helped me to love history by the way he taught, outside of the box and always fun. My heartfelt condolences to his sister and family. Rest easy Mr. P and without pain.

So sorry to hear this sad news. My condolences to Andy's sister. I got to know Andy as a fellow teacher at East Pennsboro High School. I enjoyed our brief chats at the school and seeing his infectious smile! May he Rest In Peace, and may we all remember the good times with Andy and that smile of his!

One of the best cousin a person could ever ask for It remains an honor to be related to you but I´ll miss our chats. Gods speed friend

Mary Ann, I am very sorry for your loss. Michael Khalife

Andy made such an impact on so many students and staff at EP! He will forever be remembered for his kind heart and open ears to all that needed it. He shared his passion for life and Germany with so many in our community. He will be missed.
