Mr Cerza was vice president of Twin Fair where I started my supermarket career back in the sixties. Everyone would get so nervous when he would come to their store. I was the lucky one, I was chosen to run the store on Eggert Rd. where Mr and Mrs. Cerza shopped. I got to know Mrs Cerza and also Kathleen when she was young and her father had her do demos at the stores. As it turned out I loved Eggert Rd. Twin Fair. That was my favorite place to work. It's been a very long time but, every time I saw Drew' s name on tv I thought of Andrew Cerza. He was a good boss that everyone feared until you really got to know him. He ran a great division of Twin Fair and although I'm recently retired, I still miss it.
     To the Cerza Family I would like to send my deepest sympathy for the loss of a husband, a father and a great man.
                                                                                                       Peter Solovey

Pauline and Cerza family: I am deeply saddened to hear of Andrew's passing. Hugs and prayers for you all.

To the entire Cerza family, Mary and I send our deepest condolences for your husband, father and grandfather's passing. I knew Andy (Mr. Cerza in the old days) since 1964 and his Twin Fair days. He was a Grocery business giant in the 60's and 70's. Most importantly he was a fair and caring man whom I totally respected and enjoyed. He was always good to me and my Dad. And he surrounded himself with a wonderful team of great folks. I'll never forget him. He was a good man.

May God grant you the strength to deal with your loss.

Drew, I was so sorry to read about your Dad's passing. He sounds like he was a tremendous guy -- a success in his career, devoted to his family, and loved and admired by everyone who knew him. My thoughts are with you and your family as you mourn the passing of your patriarch. With sincere condolences, Ed Healy

We were fortunate to be able to escort him on our October 13, 2012 flight (along with Colleen)to visit his memorial in Washington, DC and thank him for his service.
