He will be remembered for his kindness, quiet strength, and sharp wit.

He is survived by daughters, Lisa Kakoullis of Orange County, CA, and Laura Morello-Syor of Toronto, Canada; sister, Judy Streib of Westminster, MD; brother, Glen Syor of Baltimore; former spouse, Jo Ann Morello of Toronto, Canada; and 4 grandsons, Dean, Sawyer, Luca, and Brody. Andrew was predeceased by brother, David Syor.
