My sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of Andi. I got to know him through my friend Bruce and he hosted us skiing Cottonwood Canyon multiple times. Andi was a great guy and I was sorry to learn of his passing along with the recent death of Bruce. Fly high guys!
Sincerely,

Andy was one of the first to call me when his classmate, Pete King, passed last June!  He helped write Pete’s obituary in Chrckpoint.  He was the epitome of the “long blue line”—he served his class, the Academy, and friends wherever he was needed.  Rest In Peace—you and Pete meet again!

A consummate gentleman and a wonderful person to hang with. Steve and Sheri will miss him. Thoughts and prayers with Carol.

This is terribly late, but not a day has gone by that I don't think of Andi. He and I were involved in designing a USAFA cadet squadron activities room. That work continues and Andi's name comes up on how best to honor/ commemorate his efforts. Andi was  a friend . a mentor and played ski patrol to me, getting me safely down the slopes of Steamboat at Aspenosium weeks. I would only see him that one week a year but you can learn a lot about someone riding the ski lifts  all day long for that week. I learned of his career and his views on our nation, the Air Force and the Air Force Academy which was so dear to him.  He was a man of honor and believed others should be,also especially "his" cadets. Through the years we worked joinly on programs that related to the Academy, the Thud (F-105) and lastly the Wild Weasels.  I felt a punch to the gut when I learned of Andi's passing.  I know I am not alone in saying that Andi impacted my life.  Andi is gone, but not forgotten.  I lift a glass of "Weed" and Hand Salute...  God Bless Andi, Carole and family.

On behalf of the local Red River Valley Fighter Pilots Assn. please accept our condolences for Andi.  As I understand it, he played a vital role in Operation New Life/Babylift at the end of the Viet Nam war, saving thousands of lives.

Respectfully,

Mr. Rollan "Yoke" Yocum

Carole, we are all heartbroken at COS and offer our sincere condolences for your loss.  Andi made an indelible mark, not only on the Colorado Springs Airport in his role as Chair of the COS Airport Advisory Commission, but in the hearts of everyone at COS that he interacted with.  He was such a warrior!  I personally admired his passion for life as well as his dedication to the Airport and the Colorado Springs community.  The work he did to promote the Airport and, specifically, to develop land use protections around COS, will yield benefits that ensure the economic engine that is the Airport continues to thrive and coexist with future generations of our community.  He may be gone, but Andi will forever be a part of the COS family and we honor and remember for who he was and for the great work he did.

Dear Carole, 
My condolences to you and all your family on your loss of a great man, a great husband, and a great Dad.  He was so full of love for all of you.  He was also a pillar of strength for the Class of ’60.  As Class President, he was hard-working, wise and knowledgeable, caring and giving.
The Class of ’59 sends its condolences to you, Carole, and all your family, and joins the Class of ’60 in mourning his loss.
Joe DeSantis, Pres., Cl of ‘59

We share your sorrow and hold the Biancur family in our hearts,  thoughts, and prayers.  I am attaching a photo I took in 1962.  Bob Heiges

Andi was a great guy--he was my Boss at HQ MAC, and he was a great leader.  Hanson Scott, '61

Please accept our sincere condolences.  Of course , my memories of Andi go back for over sixty years. He contributed a lot to the Academy and the AOG. 
May the Lord be with you all and comfort you. 
Tom and Anne Eller, ‘61


Fighter Pilot-Warrior, Great Human Being, Honored to call him my Friend... A toast!

Andi was such a dynamic, caring person, always busy and engaged with doing things to benefit others. I'll fondly remember the times we conversed over coffee at Starbucks, and greeted each other at church. Carole, my sympathies are with you.

Many fond memories of Andy from kings park west . So sorry to hear about his death.


What a good man.  He always had a new idea and was not afraid to make sure things happened.  He was also not afraid to have fun.  My favorite memory is when he dressed up as "Friar Andi" and led the elf wedding at the Schwank's house for Hope's elf figurines.  How many people would be confident enough to do that?  I will miss his smile and enthusiasm for life.  My condolences to the family.
