Hello my friend, We are so sorry for your loss. Your dad was a great man and a hard worker. I remember I would work with him and Michael painting some apartments when I was young. So many memories of him in the garage and I was always curious and would ask what he was doing and it was always something with his hands. He was always fixing something or painting something. He was a joy to be around. He will be greatly missed. God Bless your family

To Andrew's dear family. I worked with Andrew at ShopRite and he was the kindest hearted man, I have every met. He was so kind to all employees and especially customers. He truly enjoyed his work.. A couple of months ago I saw him in the lobby, He told me his ride share never showed up. I asked him if I could bring him home, he said yes and beyond grateful. I will miss his smile for the rest of my life. Karen Graf

I worked with Andrew at Shoprite. I have been there only six months, but I feel blessed to have met Andrew. I was quite impressed with him. He was a kindhearted person who was liked by everyone. I will miss our talks, his smile and sense of humor. He was a die hard Yankee fan. He always said "age is just a number". He will truly be missed. I will always remember him. My condolences to all who knew him.
