  1. Dear Mayor Andochick and Family: I was saddened to see that your wife had died, yet looking at her age, she lived a good long life. In all honesty it shocked me to see her age because the two of you seem to be etched in my mind as a vibrant young couple. I never knew the two of you well, or many of you family — other than for your years as Weirton’s first family. Your leadership and kindness to the pople of Weirton were admired then and noted even now. Thank you! This obituary causes me to realize that I am not so so young any longer and years pass quickly. The good things of our lives, however, remain with us always. And thus, the love of your wife shall never be gone from you as the light of our Saviour, Jesus the Christ contnues to guide your days! Prayrfully, Stan Tuchalski
