Zweig family,
Tonight I am sending many hugs to your entire family from Brooklyn. I am so sorry for any of you to have to go through such a difficult loss of someone so loved by both family and friends.
I have been thinking all day of many memories I have when I visited Jason, and the weekends I spent with your entire family. Each visit I felt I was treated like family, and each of you showed me such warmth and hospitality. I will never forget during Ithaca College 2011 graduation ceremony, when I looked over and spotted your family scampering with my Mom to get photos of us from over the fence.
Having known Jason since 2007, I can truly say that I have always seen so much of his Dad in the way he carries himself, in his overall personality and I am certain that the respect and love he has always showed towards his Dad will remain.
Love to your family, and until I can give an in-person hug, I can say without question Mr.Zweig is proud and grateful to watch over each of you, as your already close-knit family grows even closer during this difficult time.
Love,
Julie k.

Wendy I'm sorry to hear about Andy's passing. I enjoyed coaching football with him. My son Adam loved Andy as a coach and considers Andy as one of his favorite coaches that taught not only about football but how to play the game with integrity. We enjoyed coaching our son's. My condolences to you Jason and Stephanie. Andy was a man of great integrity and strength. Our prayers are with you and your family.

To the Zweig Family,
So sorry to hear of your loss. I first met
Coach Zweig in 1982 when he coached my softball team at Clarkstown North. He was eager to teach us and always arrived to the field with a smile...we were blessed to have him as a coach.
Prayers to his family during this most difficult time.

I was lucky enough to work with Andy for almost three years. He had a talent for getting to the heart of any work related issue, and he was as happy for his coworkers successes as for his own. What I will think of above all was his love of and pride in his family. My sincere condolences to those he leaves behind.

I am stunned! I just said to my wife, Stephanie, a couple of days ago that I hadn't spoken to Andy in awhile and I needed to call him. Andy was extraordinarily special. He was bright, talented, caring, and an unbelievably supportive friend. Whenever I sought his help, he was always there. He was patient, always willing to listen, and he truly understood people. He was a mensch, and a righteous man. He was truly unique and cannot be replaced. We wish his family our most heartfelt condolences. He will be sorely missed. With our deepest sadness and our highest regard, Stephanie and Neil Cooperman
