Diane(Gavin),John, Andrea(Robert) and families,

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.  Although it's been many years - I'll always remember your Mom and Dad both.  Memories dating back to my high school days and beyond at JC's.  Your parents we're both such loving and welcoming people. May you find comfort and peace in the many memories you have of both of them. 

May the Lord bless you and keep you.

May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, 
and be gracious to you.

May the Lord look upon you with favor, 
and give you peace.

Numbers 6: 24-26

Diane, Johnny & Andrea our thoughts and prayers are with you in the loss of your father. From the time that I was a little girl your dad would light up a room the moment in walked into it with his smile and larger than life personality. 
He will be missed.

To the Lorek Family my sincere condolences. I always called Andy the hardest working man I knew.
You are at peace now my friend.

Diane, John and Andrea please accept our deepest sympathy for the loss of your dad, Andy. Your dad was a treasured family friend to all of us. A kind, thoughtful and generous man that shared many gifts with family and friends. Growing up knowing we had a friend to share our joys and sorrows with was especially comforting for my mom and dad. If memory serves me right I think your dad fixed my parents up long before they were married.  I guess in some ways the Smith family would not be as is without your dad and cupids intervention. As I write this tonight sitting in my hotel room in Hershey PA I can think of nothing but the great times full of fun and laughter we shared between our families. God bless your soul Andy. By the way your dad was much better looking than Bobby Vinton. With all our love Eric and Kathy Smith.

To my dear cousins Diane, Andrea and John, I humbly  express my deepest condolences on the passing of your father. Uncle Andy will be sorely missed.  My prayers be with you and yours.

Sincerely,
Alan Libby aka as Andy said "Lu's Kid".

Deepest sympathy to the Lorek family on the passing of Andy. He was such a great guy. Always smiling! May he rest in peace. Bobby and everyone at Golden Shoes. We all enjoyed when he stopped in!

To Diane, Andrea and John,

"I smile when I think of your mom and dad. How blessed you are to have had Mr. & Mrs. Lorek as your parents. So many memories at their home with those pizza parties and late night drives home with Mr. Lorek with everyone piled in the car. But, you all know how special they were, thank you for sharing a tiny part of them with me."  xoxox

Dear family, specially Andrea and Robert. My prayers are with you and all your family. God Bless.

I was lucky enough to work with Andy during my college years. I learned more from Andy than any book or classroom ever taught me. He taught me about having a good work ethic, good old common sense, and to have a good outlook on life in general. Andy was a class act and I am grateful to have known him for the last 45 years. Thanks Andy. You will be missed.

Andy and Marion were such good people and great friends to my parents. His smile and kindness will be missed. Thoughts and prayers from the Lenza Family.

What a class man and a class couple. Always having a smile on his face, and loved talking about his family all the time.  I am sorry to all of your family members but I am sure you have a huge smile now being back with Marion. God bless all of you, and God bless Andy

I have some wonderful memories of both Andy and his late wife, Marion. Both J.C.'s were my family and I can
honestly say I do not have half the memories in my life than I do the 5 years at both pubs. Andy, May you eat all the burger king chicken sandwiches they have in heaven. Take care my friend. Rest in peace and dance forever in heaven with Marion.

Dear Diane, John (almost typed Johnny), and Andrea - My deepest sympathy on the loss of your dad. He always had a smile for me when I saw him. I'll always remember him as the "cool" dad on the block.

"uncle Andy"  he was the best! always there for us growing up. Of course, the one with all the jokes at family gatherings. He will be missed greatly, but he left us all with wonderful memories. Sending my love to all.  Mitchie

Jim and I are so sorry for your loss. We know that you will miss your Dad and Grandpa so much. You are all in our thoughts and in our prayers.

What I am feeling right now is hard to put into words.My deepest sympathies to the entire Lorkek family.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Lorek family.   May your memories bring you comfort during this difficult time.

Andy always had a smile and an old joke to tell. So many stories and many fond Memories.

Friend for many years. Was a Great Guy. Will always remember making pizza's and delivering them for Nino's in Roseland.
Jerry & Babe Vezina
