Andy was a generous man, often repairing machines for family and friends at no cost to them. With humor he might question when was the last time you checked the oil, or cleaned the air filter or what did you run over? He preferred to be the one giving rather than the one receiving. He had a quick wit and was a loyal friend. He enjoyed speed, motorcycle riding, and NASCAR races.
He leaves his mother June Delaney, his brother John Delaney and his wife Lorraine, his sister Barbara Preston and her husband Gary; 1 nephew Nicholas Matteson (Caroline) and 3 nieces Jennifer Delaney (Nate Contois), Shelbie Delaney (Nick Zaguta), and Dana Delaney. 3 great nephews Leo Matteson, John (Jack) Contois and Clayton Contois and a great niece Evelyn Contois.
