Guidetti family, your family is in my thoughts and prayers. RIP Andy!!!🙏
My prayers are with your family. I’ve lost a father & brother to cancer and a daughter is battling her way thru after cancer surgery and therapy . I also have a very dear friend that is dying from liver cancer. Cancer is a terrible disease. God bless you!
I loved working with Andy at the City i’d Wooster. He was always the guy to help someone. If I needed something he’d have it. I got telephone polls off of him for our gym one time for Highland Games practice equipment. Sending love and hugs to the Guidetti Family.
Our prayers and love go out to the whole family. Andy was such a great guy and will be greatly missed.
Our sincere condolences for your loss, you are in our prayers ~ Ashland County Cancer Association; Angela Woodward, Shawne Brown, and Jenn Lewis. Matthew 5:4 -“blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
Pat, I remember when you guys lived across from us in Congress when I was very young. (Kristen Kemper-Randy and Becky Kemper’s oldest daughter). I remember playing with Andy, him on his bike or exploring your farm and silos. He used to sit with me on the bus and was kind of like a big brother to me. Granted this was literally 40 years ago, but I still remember all of it like it was yesterday. I’m so sorry for your loss. Thinking about you, his wife, children and the rest of the family. It looks like he left a tremendous mark on Wayne county and will not be soon forgotten.
Guidetti Family, my Deepest Sympathy, praying for peace and strength.
My deepest sympathies to the Guidetti family. I have known you as students, friends, coworkers and neighbor. I have enjoyed the times I have spent with you in these capacities. I share your grief and have witnessed your closeness and love for each other. I know that those qualities will carry you through this difficult time. I had Andy in class, but knew him best through Ski Club. I always appreciated his easy smile and friendliness. My deepest condolences.
On behalf of the Friends of Wooster Memorial Park Board, we are deeply saddened for your loss and send our thoughts and prayers. We had the opportunity to work closely with Andrew during his tenure with the City Parks, and working with him was truly a gift. Andrew’s motto was always “how can I help”, and he was always there with generosity, care and support. His smile could light up a room, and his enthusiasm for life was infectious. Andrew was as much a friend as colleague. We will work to honor him by continuing the light he brought to this world.
Dear Pat and Family,
I am so sorry to hear that Andy has passed away. No one should have to bury their child.
Many happy memories of living across the road from you in Congress many years ago. I remember when Kristen, our oldest daughter, was getting ready to start kindergarten. You told Andy his job was to take care of her on the school bus and that he did! No one ever messed with her on that bus!
Not when Andy was with her.
Andy grew up to be a great son, husband, father, brother, co-worker. The list could go on and on!
Hold your memories of him close and may they bring you comfort in the days ahead!
We are so very sorry for your loss. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. May faith help you find comfort through these difficult times.
