Dearest Andrew, loving cousin of so many, appreciated by all. We easily recall Andy, early in his life, making us laugh, run (he loved chasing girls),& listen to his stories. We were close in our youth & I identified with him, as I did my own twin, Alan; so,I adored him.Following his accident, we struggled to renew a precious friendship;our laughter & his story telling naturally continued!
We will miss Andy, and we pray that he finds Peace, in God’s beautiful arms. As the only son of Uncle Edmond and Aunt Claire, I am certain they greet him with outstretched arms, reunited, one family of love. Andy will make God laugh out loud, we can easily agree. And, I pray for your comfort, Denise and Adele, that you find meaningful solace & know how deeply he loved you for spoiling him!
Suza's tribute warmly captures Andy: a gentle man at heart. No malice, no complaints, with a childlike delight in friends and in life. He always had a book at hand — to satisfy his curiosity and keep him alert. And he reminded all of us, as frequently as the occasion called for, to pray the rosary. He said he recited it every day. I have added a favorite memory under the Stories tab above.
