We would like to express our condolences to the entire Paciga family. Andy was my barber for over 40 years. he gave both my sons (24,22) their first hair cuts, i still have the plaques he made for them. His hunting and fishing stories the venison chili, super bowl activities and his knowledge of what was going on in the neighborhood Andy's shop was not just a place for a hair cut but a place you could stop by for a drink or just to chat. i could go on and on. He touche many people in his lifetime and will be missed by all.
Sincerely
The Shipyors.

I met Andy in the mid 1970's when I was a kid when he worked at Ted's Barber Shop. Years later when Andy branched off and opened his own barber shop on Archer near Lockwood I followed him and once again when he moved his barber shop to Archer and Natchez I followed him again. Eventually Andy cut my son's own hair. For the first 40 years of my life I used to boast that no one else cut my hair. I enjoyed talking to Andy about fishing and bowling and always enjoyed his venison chili he made for customers. He will truly be missed.

My deepest sympathies for your loss of Andy. I knew Andy for years when I frequented the bar next to his shop. He would stop in for a beer and some conversation after he closed up. Such a nice man, and made delicious venison chili! I remember I told my dad to go to Andy's shop for a haircut; and after his cut he said: "why didn't you tell me about him years ago?!". My boyfriend is also a loyal patron of his shop, and it wasn't only because of his skill as a barber. It was who he was as a man. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Bonnie and family,
May tender memories soften your grief,
May fond recollection bring you relief,
And may you find comfort and peace in the thought
Of the joy that knowing your loved one brought...
For time and space can never divide
Or keep your loved one from your side.
When memory paints in colors true,
the happy hours that belonged to you.
