When the family lived on Nearing Circle, it was the Boomhower boys vs. me Lou and Bunny, Emmy and other girls that all played in the field that used to be at the end of the road, fun times! We all grew up together in a great town all through high school. That time went so fast, but glad that Andy was with us. He will be missed. God’s blessings for his family. Rest in Peace old friend.

  7. To my dearest sister Cheryl and the Boomhower “kids”.
    Over the years Mary Ann and I and our “NC” Maimone kids always loved the times we were able to spend with you. Andy was always so present and generous with us.. Such a wonderful model of what a father was and should be. We left our time with you inspired and motivated to create a loving family just like yours.
    With all our love,
