I feel truly blessed to have met "Dad" as I immediately felt OK to call him this as the poor guy and family had to "hide out" in my house for several hours until we all were allowed to arrive at Bev's surprise graduation party.
Imagine a feisty Armenian gentleman and a feisty Italian gal first meeting..... boy it was fun! He couldn't believe how many "snacks" I put out to hold them over until the party.
First impression was to me "What a kind person!" he had "Kind Eyes" as my Italian grandmother used to say. Loved him instantly!! His legacy is sure present in his extended family....boy do those Toross siblings and their offspring have "Kind Eyes" also!!!
He immediately stole a piece of my heart that afternoon, and has remained as a very dear memory to think about and smile when thinking about "Dad" Andy!!
My thoughts and prayers go out to the whole Toross family in their loss of their beloved Dad, Grandpa and friend!

I was truly blessed to grow up next-door to the Toross's. Andy and Esther were like second parents to me. The whole family was as nice as they come. He will be truly missed.
