Dear Cookie, I am so sorry to hear about Andy, we worked together for a few years in Pit 3 on Day shift. I left Harrah's in 94 but always remembered Andy for his dedication towards his Family and Harrah's. He will be truly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Dear Donato family,
My brother Frank just called me with the sad news of Andy's passing. I knew Andy from the time I was 15 and he was 17. He was my best friend and a very thoughtful person. He helped me through some very difficult times.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am glad my husband Bruce and I had a chance to meet you and the girls when my aunt passed away in Reno.
My condolences to David, Phil, Bob, Rosemary, and Diane.

Dear Cookie, Rebecca, and Jennifer,
Althought many years have passed since Andy and I have lived in the same town, my memories of Andy's friendship have not dimished. From first meeting Andy at Craps dealer school to your wedding and my wedding, I have felt a close bond with Andy. The news of Andy's passing has saddened me deeply. May your memories of your life with Andy support and sustained you through this difficult period.

Dear Donato Family,
Andy and I were close friends through high school and college. While our lives took us in different directions I have thought of him many times over the years. I still drive by the family home on Font Grove road from time to time and find myself smiling. He was a great friend. Bless all of you.
