We don't know that it was alcohol related from the article. People have accidents sometimes. He was a really nice kid back in high school and my prayers are with his family. May his kind soul rest in peace.

Where did it say that alcohol was involved? It's not time for a lecture. Our condolences to the family.

I am so tired of hearing Mr Speigler's opinion about everything! My thoughts and prayers are with this family.

I believe if you didn't know my son you should keep your lectures to yourself. We don't need comments like that now. You are uncaring and unkind

Andrew was a VERY nice boy. It is with deepest sadness that I learn of this accident. Our deepest condolences. Paul and Nancy Page

No one can or should pass judgement at a time like this. We can only pray for Andrew's family for peace and strength to endure the loss of one so loved. Our sincere condolences to family and friends of this precious young man. Life is so fragile. God Bless all of you.

This family needs prayers and compassion. Speigler should be banned for spilling hatred once and for all.

This is a tragedy. Many prayers to the family. I always worry about young men in the south side and the possibility of this type of accident. Again I am praying for the family.

I don't see the comment that is prompting these responses, so I'm sort of winging it here. The newscast on the 11:00 PM news last night mentioned the word alcohol. But guess what...it doesn't matter. I agree 100% with these kind supporters. This family has lost their son, brother, grandson. It is not our place to assume, criticize, judge or scrutinize this family or anyone else. Practice saying this: "This could be ME tomorrow." How would you like to be treated if you were suffering this type of loss? I would hope for grace, love and compassion. To the Guzzi Family: Cling to what is good and helpful. Disregard the rest. You are in my prayers.

The Van Cleves all delighted in knowing Andrew. What fun we had on his senior year band trip. He was a wonderful young man. This makes us so sad. Our prayers are with Andrew and the Guzzi family.

Kim and all Guzzi Family, we are so sorry for your loss. Andrew was such a nice young man. If there is anything I can do for you please call.
Sincerely, Amy, Mark & Kali Seech

Andrew would make me laugh every time he stopped in the band office. I remember how excited he was to be going to Washington and Jefferson College. Andrew was a kind, happy, talented and friendly young man who always saw the best in others. Kim and family, I am so sorry for your loss.

I had the pleasure of chaperoning the Disney World band trip with Kim and was so touched by how affectionate Andrew was with his mom. Not afraid to put his arm around her or give her a hug in front of his friends and so sweet with his little sister. Kim, Tony and Katie, stay strong for each other and hold each other close…you have so many loving prayers surrounding you……

Andrew never failed to bring a smile to all of our faces when we were with him. He was always happy and smiling ready to give us a welcoming hug hello. Kim please know you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

If you weren't sure who Andrew was in high school, the descriptors people listed were always like, this, "You know, he's tall, blonde -- he's that guy who's really nice to everyone, makes everyone laugh?" And then you knew exactly who they were talking about. Deepest condolences, he brought smiles to a lot of people.

My boys remember him fondly as a favorite rec camp counselor. We are so sorry for your loss and are praying for your family.

I know Andrew's parents. And from the responses and the outporing of love through- out shows just how wonderful Andrew and his parents are. A family of love.

I do not know Andrew or his family, but my heart breaks for them. As a parent, this could be me or anyone I know. Prayers and love to Andrew's loved ones.

2 of my kids were in the HS with Andrew. We are so sorry for your loss. I can't imagin anything worse for a parent.

Kim & Family,

You have our deepest sympathy. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,
Brian, Linda, Luke, Derek & Brianna Schill

Andrew was a very good friend of mine I knew him as guzzi. I miss him so much I don't know his family but my deepest sympathy goes out to them. I

The few times I met guzzi through mutual friends, he was an amazing person. Always greeted people with a contagious smile, and as if he had known you forever. He will truly be missed, and remembered as the wonderful person that he was. Condolences to his family, I am so sorry for your loss.

I had the chance to know Andrew on a level that most people never got to- and I love reading this positive comments because I can tell people saw the side of him that was most important to show. He was honestly one of the most caring and compassionate people I have ever met. It didn't matter how bad his day was- it was his goal to make sure your day was full of happiness- and that was Andrew. I cannot believe someone would have the nerve to discuss the effects of alcohol in the times of such a tragedy- and this person clearly does not know the Guzzi family at all. If he did, he would be aware that this close knit family is dealing with unreal circumstances- but Andrew's compassion does not live in everyone and that's why he was special. Andrew's fall was an accident- a terrible one- that could happen to any of us- with or without alcohol. Let us remember that.

Andrew Guzzi was a good friend in high school, he was one of the kindest funniest people that i was lucky enough to have met. the kind of guy who would go out of his way to make another person smile. A world without Andrew Guzzi is a world thats missing out. my thoughts and prayers go out to his family in such a dark time. I'm sure he's in heaven right now cracking jokes and making everyone laugh.

Andrew was my camp counsoler at Fort Couch during the summer rec programs. He always made me and my friends laugh and made camp enjoyable to come to everyday. He was a great kid and I was sadden to hear that this has happened to him. My prays are with you.
