My Life Full of Blessings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781977257895)

Just a kid from The Bronx, born 2nd generation of a family of immigrants from Italy, Andy was blessed in so many ways over the years. There was no silver spoon or any kind of privilege in his life or his family. He learned the value of hard work at a very young age and was blessed with the fruits it yielded the rest of his life. Having left home at barely 17 years of age, he joined the Navy (Vietnam era), served over 8 years, and was honorably discharged. After being discharged from Active Duty, he went back to college, full time at night, while working full time during the day. Although this was done during difficult family times, it set a firm foundation in place for his next career in life to reap more blessings.

It was just after this time that he received another Blessing... he met his wife, Grace, with whom he has shared 35 wonderful, glorious years as of the time of this writing. Looking forward to many more years, he and his wife are happily retired in their home on Whidbey Island, WA. Putting to use his lessons in life, he applied what he learned with the help of God, and an extraordinary amount of hard work and sacrifice, to build a home, a successful career and a retirement, adapting to the many unexpected hands that life sometimes deals you.

"Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans"..... John Lennon.
