Andy was a classmate of mine from the Class of 68 at Geneva high school he was one of the toughest football players I had ever played with.
We had a lot of great times in junior high in high school. I will never forget.
Just an all-around good man.
He will be missed by his family and close friends.
I regret that I won’t be able to be there for his services as we are traveling.
God bless you all and may you rest in peace Andy.

Prayers and sending comfort to the family.
Al and I are so sorry to hear of Andy’s passing. 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.
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,
Uncle Charlie and the NC Maimones
