Pandy, Pepsi, Old School, or Form, we knew Andy as such a friendly person, and an even better person to be around. When I look back, I have the greatest memories from my times with Andy. I think I speak for many when I say Andy will be greatly missed, and I will continue to think of him all the time.

Dear Pieczykolan Family,

I just heard about your terrible loss this moment. While I didn't have the opportunity to be a part of your family these many years, I recall many happy moments being with you when you made the move to Mundelein and you new home.



May God bless you all during this sad time and always.



Warmest regards,

Cassandra Gronke

I never got to know you outside of work, but I remember those unfinished conversations we'd have at work that would inevitably get broken up by Gary or Dave. You'd fill in for your brother when he wasn't there, during the week, and help me make fun of the Sears shoppers. Everyone that ever knew you will miss you.



Your "closing buddy"



My deepest condolences and prayers go out to the Pieczykolan family. Hang in there.

I have known Andy since the 5th grade. I actually miss how he teased me then. I never got to know Andy personally, but he was a great guy out on the field as well as in school. I always admired how smart he was. Andy was in my driver's ed class sophomore year. I remember on the first day of class when the teacher asked us if we had any driving experience and Andy listed the cars he drove with his siblings and parents. Right away Andy became the teacher's favorite. That is how Andy was, he had a great personality that won people over. Andy had a great smile that I know we all will miss. My prayers are with the Pieczykolan family.
