Carol and family,
With deepest sympathy from all of us at Raff Embossing who worked with Andy for many years.
Having been out of touch for a few years, we we surprised and saddened to hear of his passing.
You are in our thoughts.

Fenwick Island, DE remembers Andy and the Sparacino family enjoying its beaches and good food, sitting on the deck of 1703, gazing towards the bay and just watching the traffic go by, chatting for hours, Andy and Carol driving the Catalina, that Andy bought from us, back to Fenwick Island just to show us how much it was loved and cared for by him and the refurbishing he enjoyed lavishing on it. Bill and I remember Andy that way and I remember him mostly from when he was at Raff and I was at Evans, downstairs. He was a hard working man with a great sense of humor, would talk about anything and everything. Sometimes he had a "more determined side"! It was clear his family was at the top of his priorities.
Though it has been years since we have been in touch, reading of his passing touched us like it was just yesterday. Remember, those tears are happy tears as he is missed because, if there were not so many wonderful memories of good times, there would be no tears at all.
Keep the Faith. May he rest in Peace.

There is a land that lies beyond the river, Where flowers bloom through days of crystal light, A land where-in the weary soul may linger, With not a care nor ever any night. A land where pain and death may never enter, Nor grief nor sin despoil this home-land fair. Here Jesus lives in loving kindness, Waiting with eager arms to welcome all who enter there. Oh land so fair where south winds gently blowing, Breathe soft o'er woodlands and o'er gardens rare, Where palm trees wave and silver streams are flowing, A-down green valleys and through meadows fair. And as the sun goes down behind the hill tops, I close my eyes and seem to see the shore, Where friends I loved and lost awhile are waiting, With out-stretched hands to greet me when the journeys o'er. Poetry by Caroine-Jeannine Nestler Keene Harrison - class of 1958 - [email protected]
