Whenever Andy and Dave would talk on the phone, at the end of the conversation Andy would always say "give Cheryl a squeeze". So here's one last squeeze for you Andy. SSSQQQQEEEEEEZZZZZEEEEE! I'll miss talking with you!

Andrew and I met only by phone but what a conversation! What a nice man.
I'm the daughter of his cousin Jeannette and neice of Evelyn. My sympathies to Liz and her family.

Uncle Andy was one of the finest! I used to love to stay at their home when we would travel north to visit the relatives. You would always find warmth and comfort with Annette and Andy. Some of my best childhood memories are of spending time at their home and playing with their neat variety of animals. We can truly smile when we realize that he is in heaven surrounded by all of his beloved best friends (two and four legged) who have passed before him. God Bless you Uncle Andy.

I just learned about Andy's passing. I did business with him for many years at General Doors Corporation, Bristol, PA. My deepest condolences to Mrs. Keegan and the rest of Andy's family. He was a very kind man.

Twenty four years ago this June, I met Andy at Frantz Garage Doors. He asked me if I was the new girl.
I said "Yes, I was." Our friendship blossomed from that day. When Andy came to the office, he would often ask other customers to go ahead so that we could talk. Later, I moved from the area and when I returned, it was as if I had never left. Since Andy had already lost a brother, he was able to help lift my spirits when I lost my brother. We grew closer from this common bond. He always said I cheered him up when he was in the hospital. I always enjoyed hearing his stories of life when he was younger, his war experiences and all of his jokes.
We enjoyed going to the Crossroads and splitting a pitcher of beer along with our cheese steaks.
I am going to miss Andy dearly and I know everyone already knows what a kind and generous person he was.
We also enjoyed sharing stories about our love of cats. Good Bye dear friend, until we meet again.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Andy for more than twenty years.
He was a true "gentle man".
I will miss him dearly, especially his quick wit. He was a true friend. Knowing Andy improved my life. I'm sure all of his four legged friends already in heaven are glad to see him again and the ones still here will truly miss him. Rest in peace my friend!
