Puccinelli family, we are most saddened by Andrew's passing. Will always remember his tooting the whistle at ball games and playing softball.

I am broken hearted to hear of Andy's passing. We were fraternity brothers in the early 70s and had only seen each other a couple times since. He was a fine guy in every way and I will always remember him for his humor and intelligence. My prayers for all of his loved ones. We have lost a really good man far too soon. May you all know the Lord's Peace and Comfort at this difficult time, Russ Leatherby

To the Puccinelli Family
By chance I saw an article on the Internet about Elko. As I haven't seen Andrew for 35 years since our days at UOP I thought of Googling his name and was shocked to see the news. You may remember me as I spent Thanksgiving 1972 at your home. Andrew came home with me to Hawaii in the summer of 1973. I send you my deepest condolences. Rusty Kekuewa

I am saddened by the death of a good man and father. His support of me as a coach and teacher were always appreciated and he made me laugh; there is no price to put on those things. Having the kids in class with the backing of the parents was a treat, I wish you all well. Know you have been in my thoughts and prayers.

I can assure you that God will comfort you if you allow Him. We may not understand why, we just have to have faith that God's plan is bigger than anything we could ever imagine. Stay strong and remember the good times. May God bless you and your family.
