Andrew worked as a senior service partner for Paychex of Rochester where he was admired and respected by all of his coworkers. He was a diligent employee who took great pride in his work.

Andrew was a kind, loving, gentle soul who was truly loved by all. His enormous charm, wit and humor attracted the attention of an entire room. He was the guy that everyone wanted to be around and the guy that made everyone feel special. He had a unique ability to make anyone laugh at any given time. He was truly the light of our lives. He enjoyed all things sports from lacrosse to golf and sometimes an occasional wager on the big game. Andrew was a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan and an avid Syracuse fan, so much so that his beloved dog and best friend is named Boeheim. To say he will be missed is an understatement. Andrew was a beloved son, brother, nephew, Uncle and friend.
