Dear Kathy, Chris, Neil, and Family,
Some people pass through this world unnoticed. Andy was not one of them. His height made him stand out, but his personality, his wit, and his genuine love for people, especially for his family, were impossible to overlook. We knew him for decades, and for decades we enjoyed his company and his friendship.You will miss him terribly. Please know that we also will miss Andy. Our prayers are with you all.

Dear McDevitt Family:
My sincerest sympathy goes out to your family. It has been a pleasure to know Andy. He was a genuine person with a personality that can make anyone happy.
There are so many fond memories when I was a child visiting Andy and Kathleen. However more recently, playing golf with with Andy, Kathleen, and Neil in Hilton Head a few years back. I never had so much fun on the golf course as I did with you guys.
Andy will be missed. God Bless your family. Your are in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Daniel M. Stanislawczyk and Family
Pawleys Island, SC

Dear Kathy, I had the pleasure to know Andy. There was not a person he touched, that he did not make them feel good about themselves. I didn't really work with him, but we were at times located on the same floor at 540 Broad St. It was always a pleasure to meet him. I always walked away happy. He brought a smile to everyone.

Dear Kathy, Chris & Lauren & kids, Neil & Amy,
We are so incredibly sorry to hear about the passing of Andy. He always put a smile on our faces. Christmas Eves in NJ were always special times for your family and ours. We fondly remember him riding the tractor, playing with Max, and playing softball with the neighborhood team, among other memories. He would sometimes call me "Lee-sur" and "Sunshine." It was all just fine with me!
Please know that we are thinking about all of you. You and Mr. McD are in our prayers.

Andy and Kathy have been good friends of my family for a long time. Andy was always around with a smile on his face and I'll never forget the way he used to give me hugs when I was a little girl or how he taught me the right way to eat lobster for the first time at his house.He's always going to be my Uncle Andy and my condolences go out to his family. I love you all.
