FLORES, Andrew F. Sr., a Virginia resident, closed the final chapter of a life well-lived on Monday, October 26, 2020. Mr. Flores was born August 30, 1940, in New Orleans, Louisiana to the late Louis and Christina Flores. He was in the first graduating class of LSUNO (University of New Orleans). In his long and storied career, he had a hand in developing the economies of multiple cities and states. He loved family. He respected tradition. His laugh could fill a room. He loved music, especially when it had roots in his beloved city of New Orleans. His love story with his wife, Jackie spanned 57 years. In every way a life can be measured, his was an amazing success. Andy is survived by his wife, Jackie; five children, Tracey, Andrew Jr., James, John and Mary; 11 grandchildren, three great-grandchildren; and his sister, Kathleen Cangelosi. He was preceded in death by his parents; his brothers, John, Angelo and Louis; and his sister, Wihelmena. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held for family only at St. Michael's Catholic Church in Glen Allen, Va., on Wednesday, November 4, 2020. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his honor to the University of New Orleans, The Wounded Warrior Project or The National Kidney Foundation.

I had the privilege of being Andy´s
Nephrologist for many years.
He was a remarkable man and
Jackie was even a more amazing
& loving Caregiver. It was a pleasure to work with the Flores.

Often I think of Andy when I am in a business situation and remember his ability to think of another question to ask to get the sale or to have the other person say 'yes'. And I have fond memories of his wife and family and the love they shared. Andy was THE BEST boss and teacher I had in life. His lessons on how to eat almost anything are still with me (with the exception of mayo, mustard and vinegar). Philip Seghers

Dearest Jackie, You are on our hearts and in our prayers. We are grieving with you on the passing of Andy. He was truly an extraordinary man. Andy lived his life as an unwavering example of the importance of holding dear the priorities of a blessed life: love of God, love of his beautiful and virtuous wife and precious family, loyalty to friends, and valiantly working to leave his community a better place than when he arrived. You and Andy will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We treasure wonderful times with you. May God hold you and your family tightly in His loving arms. We are standing with you in prayer. We love you.

Jackie and Family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Andy was the best boss I ever had. He taught me so much, not about business, however, he knew lots, but about life and family and laughter and goodness! I still have a note on my desk from one of our meetings. He said "There is no way to happiness, Happiness is the way" I don't remember what deals we closed or what deadlines had to be met. I only remember his goodness and sweet kind heart! I always will! Miss you Andy! Love to all of you!
