Andy was a "Great" man. Always a smile and always had time to listen to what you had to say. He was a gentleman and I always enjoyed my time with him and the entire family. I'm glad to have seen him just a few months ago. I will miss him very much! When I hear the train in the distance I will know Andy and his best friend Robert will be on it! RIP!

I can remember walking across the street, being invited to swim in the pool during summer breaks, or going up to the camp to swim in the lake. I always loved going to the house because he would always listen to my little girl rambling as if it was the most important thing in the world! He always had a smile and a laugh and a positive outlook. His hug for me and words of comfort in October meant the world to me. I will miss him very very much. My love to everyone.

My condolences to the entire Kinsinger family for the loss of a great husband, father and grandfather. I've known Andy for more than 50 years and will remember most fondly visiting Andy and Joan in the Adirondacks an area that he loved.
