Happy Birthday to one of my all time favorites! Hope that you are planning on having a great time with everyone and now also have Mike with you. Take care of him I know he did a lot for you. And as you know it is 18 years since we lost our beloved daughter, Michelle. Keep her under your wings and please watch over her as
I am sure you have been doing all along. Much love to you, Andy and you are missed dearly. I still think of those times that the three of us did things together, Cubs openers, Black Hawk games and I could go on
Love you

Happy Birthday Andy!
As you celebrate up there, we’ll be celebrating here all of the good times we shared.
And I’m heartbroken to say that my Mike is now up there with you.
Too young too soon as for many of you.
He always enjoyed a good time, so he’ll be celebrating right with you.
Take good care of my baby, my best friend & the best husband in the world.
I know Michelle is right there with you as well. Give each other all big hugs from me.
Happy Happy Birthday!
And congrats on being a grandpa again.
Love Always,
Your PITA

Hey there my friend,
Had you on my mind today more than usual. Can hardly believe its 9 years already.
Seems its starting to look like a Heavenly Last Call up there. Too too many, & now Tony is another one.
When you see the crazy world going on down here, I can see why when we pass on, people say their in a better place.
But doesnt mean your all not missed, cuz you definitely are.
Many cherished memories my friend.
Give my love to everyone.
Love Your
PITA ❤

Happy 70th Birthday my dear friend, Andy.
Bet there is going to be a huge party for you with everyone. I know if you were here there would be one. Had all your kids and grandkids here last Sunday.

Hey there, Andy. Got your kids coming over this afternoon with all their kids.
Should be fun. Never met some of the younger ones and I am looking forward to it. Hope the rain holds off until the evening.

Boy someone is going to be 70 next Saturday and it will be 17 years that day that our dear Michelle left us. I hope you are taking good care of her since you are her Godfather.

Well back to the kitchen. Got to get some goodies ready for the kids to eat.

Miss you very much, Andy along with Michelle and so many more that are with you.

Love you friend

Hello there my dear friend, Andy. Can't believe how fast the time has gone by.
We miss you each and every day. Always have some good laughs about the times me, you and Mick spent together. Like taking me out of work to go to
a standing room only Cub opener in the freezing weather. Having your kids
parties here was fun and now they all have kids of their own. I hope you are taking good care of my Michelle. She is always missed too. Wishing the both of you were still here with us but you are not and will not ever be forgotten.

Love

My Sweet Andy,

Sure am missing you, can hardly believe its been a year already.
This will be it for your Guest Book, but I know your always close.

My moms getting ready to move down to Fl., & hopefully won't be long for us too. Too many changes in IL. for us retirees, lol!

Kasey continues to send pictures of Paityn, who is getting so big & cute...:>) I know you watch over all of them. You are a great Dad & friend, & missed by so many of us.

Just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you today as I often do.

Don't know how busy you are up there w/family & friends. BUT, if you see my baby girl "Samantha", take her for a walk, she loves walks. I miss her terrible too. Too many family, friends, & 4 legged babies that I miss.

Know your always in my heart & mind.
You take care of you & everyone, BIG HUGS!!

I'll see you in my dreams.
Love & miss you always.

Hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving w/your mom & dad & of course Michelle.

It's a sad day for everyone who we have lost in the past & this year too.

I hope you met my Samantha, I'm sure Michelle will bring her by you. She was very sick & we lost her on Nov. 14th. She's a cutie & very loving, so don't give her a hard time like you would give me....lol!

My thoughts & prayers are w/you & your kids. I'm sure today is not easy for them either.

Hi My Sweet Andy,

Been thinking alot about you lately, so I thought I'd visit your Guest Book.

Your ears must have been ringing, we've been reminicing about the good ole days.
We went to Colorado for vacation & spent some time w/Joann J., she remembered you well, & was so sorry to hear about you. Of course she talked about your Camaro, what a hot car!
Eddie is in from Florida, so we went down memory lane too. Cherished memories we all hold close to our hearts. Are we missing you, heck yeah!

Just wanted to tell you I love you & will see you in my dreams.

Love & miss you always,
