My condolences. I just found out I am related. May Andrew rest in peace and perpetual life shine upon him. I actually named one of my sons after my father, Andrew Flando aka Ferriola. My father was the best man in the world, and I am positive that he lived on in his children. God bless.

Almost a year Daddy and it's so different without you here. Life goes on but it will never be the same. I think about you all the time and you are always in my head telling me whatever I need to know. Why did you leave us? Tiger

Mrs Flando, my deepest sympathy and prayers to you and your family. As you know, Andy was my attorney for over 30 years and over that time we became good friends. I will miss him very much.

Dear Aunt Mimi, Maureen, Elizabeth, Margaret, Mary Pat and Andrew!~ Uncle Andy was one of my FAVORITE Uncles....by far! My thoughts and prayers are with ALL of you at this time, especially Aunt Mimi..... I am so sorry that I could not make the funeral...I did look at airfare, but alas, didn't work out at this time! I am glad that my parents and Meg were all there for you! One of my favorite memories of him is at Mary Pat's wedding, the speech about the family is a corporation.....and that he always said "Tall Man" to me instead of actually the real thing.....He always made a big deal about Meg and I, when we were in Chicago and always made us feel VERY included! Some of my best memories are of how much fun we had at the house in Highland Park, will never forget those times....My love to all of you guys!
With Love~Grace Heffernan Cook

Dad you are my hero. You are the brightest star in the sky at night. I have never seen a love like you and mom had. Mom was your world and you were hers. I still hear you ask "where is my bride?" I love you with all my heart and soul. Love you, Margaret
