We'll miss you, Andy

Our good friend and my husband's former partner and dearest friend died Sunday. He was born in Italy and was so thrilled we had the chance to visit. The guys visited shortly before he passed after we got home last week, and we were hoping, since he seemed better, that he would be able to return to his home on the east side of Columbus. Andy and Mary Frances had a sailboat up here docked at Port Clinton, and usually came to Lakeside for dinner and to hear the barbershoppers on Labor Day week-end. He was a dear, kind, gentle man, and a wonderful designer and artist. Many friends and former colleagues attended the visitation Wednesday and services on Thursday. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his daughter and two grandsons.
