I will always remember Andy as a favorite patient who became a wonderful friend. He was such a fighter who even through the hardest of times he kept his dignity and zest for life and fought his illness on his terms. I will miss the organized faxes he would send and miss talking with him. I am a better person for having known him. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

It has been over four years since we lost Sy—It is never easy to accept. Our prayers are with you.
An old friend, Darlene

I am grateful for AJ, my husband’s father and grandfather to our children. AJ had a zest for life, living it to it’s fullest. He was built of strength, perseverance, love and devotion. I recently had the opportunity to sit with him as he reflected about his youth, college, dating his sweetheart and taking the CPA exam. He was so nervous about the exam and ended up having the best score in the state and given an award. His stories were enlightening showing trials and experiences that made the man we all grew to know and love. I will miss him very much.
Susan Siwietz Hoffman says
I will forever remember Andy. We were neighbors and grew to be lifelong friends. I will always remember his positive spirit and his love for his family.
I pray that God will bless his family with peace.
Much love to MaryAnn and the boys… Sue

I had the privilege of working with Andy for several years through banking and his clients. He was always happy, kind and a pleasure to deal with. He would always go out of his way to ask about my family and enjoyed hearing the stories of my children. RIP in Andy – you will be greatly missed by everyone who knew you.
