Dear Jaskierski Family,
I am deeply sorry for your family's loss. I had the honor of working for Andy and Divane Brothers in my early years as an electrician and Andy made a great impact on my life, I can only hope that I can be as good a husband, a father and a friend as he in my life. Please know that he will be dearly missed by so, so many people and my family and myself will keep you all in our prayers. I believe that God must have a huge electrical project in store for him in heaven and may God Bless Him.

Andy was a great guy and a great foreman. He took care of his people and he knew how to run a job. I only worked for him for a year but he always had time to say hello and in spite of all the people he had to deal with in a day, he could still remember your name. I am very sorry for your loss.

To Sheila, Dolores, and Jaskierski Family:

Andy has been a part of our family for almost 50 years. We knew him as a warm, loving man, husband, and father, a hard worker who always took excellent care of his family, and a guy who knew how to have fun. We are devastated by his loss and cannot comprehend why such a wonderful, caring person had to be taken from us so soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family, and our hearts are breaking along with yours. We will miss him always.

Much love and affection,

Dear Sheila and Family, I am so sorry to hear the bad news about Andy. It does not seem that long ago we were all friends, well, like brothers, back in college.

To the Jaskierski Family:

I am sorry to hear of your loss.

I ran into your family at my niece's graduation from DePauw University a few years ago. Although I did not keep up with him since college, Andy seemed like the same guy I remember from those days.

Although I did not know Andy very well, I always felt I was with a long time friend when he was around. The annual corn roast and running into him after game 1 of the World Series will always be my favorite memories.

The Jaskierski Family

We are deeply saddened by the news of your family's loss. We join others and offer our prayers and extend our hands in sympathy and support to your beloved family.

Andy loved people. He was there for all of us with a smile as broad as his heart.

Whether it was the block party, a church doing or a veteran returning from Iraq, he was there and gave freely of himself.

We will miss him and his Orange Truck going down Brighton Lane stopping frequently to talk to his neighbors.

You don't forget a man like Andy...He will remain a part of us as we continue our journey until that day when we meet again.

The sorrow is heavy in the same proportion as the impact your dad and husband had on others. I only knew him a short time, yet I can see his worth in a wonderful family. God will give you strength to experience life without him and all your friends will be praying for you now and always. Your St.Cletus family remembers him and will keep all of you in our prayers. God be with you all as your family finds peace with one another.
