Heartfelt condolences to Tim, Sal, Betty and the Capasso/Peeney families. Andy will always be in our hearts. Andy has been passionate for his whole life participating in sports and team related activities and was downright religious as a fan of our local NY sports teams especially the NY Mets. These interests have allowed Andy to express some of his best qualities that we have all experienced firsthand: His loyalty, generosity and kindness to teammates, family and friends alike. Andy’s outgoing and welcoming nature was exemplified in being the consummate host and the life of the party, allowing him to share his light with many people. We are personally very grateful for the time we had with Andy and his sharing his light with us. Patrick Hughes and Jeff Gutfleisch

We grew up in the park , Our families knew each other, Mom Betty was very active in the schools functions and trips and probably bought me trinkets on trips where I had no spending money, Andy would make funny faces in Mr. GARDNER’s music class while I was probably getting yelled at. I was happy to see him and his partner on Facebook recently , and looked forward to seeing his home renovation. Deepest heart felt condolences to Tim and Betty and family. RIP.

Andy was an incredibly nice man. I loved seeing him at bowling tournaments. My condolences to Tim, his family and Andy's family.

I met Andy about 43 yrs ago at a bar in the village . He came with my step bro Mike to hang with my dad, fiancé , and I. I found him so funny , we all had a few laughs. As the years passed, I saw Andy at family functions and he was always a delight to talk to. So very respectful and loving , especially to my mom. My family enjoyed the times we were together . Rest in peace dear Andy. With love Debra , Peter, Jordan, Stefan, Ana, Luciano Barone
