I´ve been trying to connect with Mr. Andy for the past 12 years and this morning I found a necklace and note he gave me before he moved to Oregon after all these years. From that note, I was able to find this information and see that he is now with the Lord as of 2017. I am devastated but he will truly be missed. May he rest in peace.

He was a great man! Loved seeing him at St. Alphonsus every Sunday.

Years ago, as I do now, I went to Christ the King to listen to early Mass, but I also went to listen to the many stories that Andy shared with me about his life experiences. I always admire his humor, respect for life and human diversity. Today while at early Mass I learned about his passing and momentarily looked at where he always set. I became deeply sadden, said a prayer and smiled with him. After he moved to Oregon, we continued our telephone conversations until I no longer had a telephone number for him. God bless you Andy and thanks for making me a better person.

He was a great guy and made people feel good about themselves. He had a wonderful Irish sense of humor. He loved working with kids especially in baseball and would try to bestow them the proper form and technique. He was a very devout man with Faith in God and his Blessed Mother.
