Any was the oldest BEST brother any family of 11 kids could ever have. I hung out at his house (with my best friend, Andy's sister, Diane) and Andy would always joke around with me. I remember when I was in 5th grade and Diane & I had our quartly arguement and did not talk for days...he came up to me and told me we were just silly and to call each other. This happened often and when we called each other NOTHING was ever said about the arguement and we just started talking again.... in many/most cases due to Andy...anyway...Diane & I continue to be great friends and have NEVER missed a B-day call.
God Bless You Andy

OMG, did you know that today is exactly 6 months since? That's like, a whole half year. That went by really quickly. I can't believe he's been gone that long!
...Also, today is the 7th grade NJHS induction, and I get a medal tonight to wear at Graduation.

Jean, Jolyne, Andy,and Joseph,
No words can convey the sadness my famiy and I feel for you. Andy is and always will be a wonderfully beautiful man who will live on in your hearts and many others forever. I will certainly miss his political conversations and Dunkin Donuts coffee. As you probably know, his family was his passion, heart and soul. My family and I are here for you, and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

God bless you all and may you take comfort in knowing that you now have an angel in Heaven watching over you (camera in hand I am sure.)

Hi! Andy had the wonder of a child filled with joy, always. He was the one we all admired because, somehow, he grew up without ever losing that childlike wonder. This gift he gave us now will have to grow in our own hearts. God rest his soul.
