Aimee:
My heart goes out to you and your entire family. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
I'm so glad that you and I had a chance to have such a nice long talk at the last SVA / St. John's reunion in Shreveport in the Fall of '99.
I still remember how much fun it was being your Senior during SVA Freshman initation of '59 . . . and 40 years later, you were still just as adorable and as kind a person as ever!!!
May God give you and your daughters all the strength you'll need in the coming days . . . and may time and your wonderful memories of Andy help you heal.
Love & hugs . . .

Dear Aimee,
Our heart goes out to you and your family on Andy's unexpected and tragic passing. I know from sad experience what a devestating loss this is.
Andy was certainly one of the finest gentlemen that I have ever known. Always gracious and professional, he was a highly respected leader, in the most challenging of environments. His good will, good humor and sense of fairness were the foundations of his business career and life.
And through it all you were the most perfect mate. His love for you and your family consistently radiated from him.
I recognize that words seem hollow, but know that you, Andy and your family are in our prayers.
With sympathy,
Denny & Duffy Holland

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in this time of grief. I was honored to have had the opportunity to both compete and collaborate with Andy over the past 27 years. I was thrilled to learn that "THE" Andy Miciotto was on the Nalco Team and so cherished the opportunties I had to work with him over the past few years.

The Final Salute
“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Andrew Joseph (Andy) Miciotto our Brother in Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Andy. And to Andy it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country while serving in the U.S. Army. Andy we bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at ease. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of the 1,452 members of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion, I extend our sympathies and our condolences to Andy’s family and loved ones.

Dear Aimee and Family
Words cannot express how profoundly sorrowful I am for you and your family over the untimely and tragic passing of Andy. It was an honor and privilege to work for him. He treated everyone with respect and courtesy whether you worked in the mail room or mahogany row. Everyone liked and admired Andy and wanted to be in his company. He will be very much missed by a great number of people and we will not see the likes of such a magnificent human being again. May God grant him eternal rest and you the peace of Christ's love knowing that Andy is truly at home with God.
