My heart goes out to Andy's family. I will miss him deeply. Andy was my first manager at Broadway (The University Department) when I started to work as a teenager. Andy was a true gentleman & class-act. Even after all these years when I was at Macy's and would run into him - he would take time and talk to me. We really lost a very special person.

I was a fellow classmate of Andy's at Santa Clara High School. He was always, kind, smiling, sincere, and full of school spirit. What a wonderful and fulfilling life he led; and he represented his country to the fullest. Rest in the Peace of God's Eternal Love, Andy.

I first met Andy in 1985 when I first started working at The Broadway. I would see him going in and out of the swinging doors of the visual department that were right outside the gift wrap department where I worked. You will be missed! My condolences to the Anguiano Family. Rest in Peace.

Dear Anguianos,
Gosh, we are so sad because of Andy's passing. We have had the privilege to attend some Anguiano Family gatherings and we always enjoyed talking with Andy -- such a down-to-earth and nice guy. We were blessed to know him. Mr. and Mrs. A, you raised a wonderful family.
We would have been there today if we could have; sure do miss good people like you all. God bless you and we know Andy is happy in heaven.
Love, Annie and Joe Greeley

I was in shock when I read the papers and learned the loss of such a wonderful person. I met Andy about 18 years ago at LA Workout in Ventura. The gym is no longer in existence now but I remember we would faithfully show up for the 5:30 step classes and claim our floor spots. He often talked about going to nieces, nephews birthday parties or a family event. I am thankful that I met such a kind-hearted person. I will miss you.... and keep on Steppin that Step!

I will cherish the times I got to spend with you & the advice you gave me about growing up & telling me to always remember where I came from. Thank you for those great words of wisdom. I Love You Cousin.

Dear Anguiano Family, especially Andy's parents:
Please accept my deepest condolences. I did not have the privilege to know Andy, but I know his brother (fr.) Jim.
Moments like this leave us with teary eyes and silent lips ... but our heart declares in faith that Andy's life has changed not ended for he has passed the door that leads into eternity and eternal joy and peace.
I will celebrate Mass for Andy tomorrow, Tuesday, at St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City, asking the Lord of life to embrace him for ever.
As we pray for Andy, may he pray for us who still have to continue with this earthly journey.
May he rest in the peace of the Risen Lord.
