I think I last saw Andy wearing an "Apache Neck Tie". Very in vogue for 1969. Look closely at his class picture. I think he is wearing it! I think Andy single handedly was responsible for the relaxed dress code future classes enjoyed. Gone but not forgotten.
This was written by Dr. Alfred Giuffrida, NHS 1969 Class President, about his good friend, Andy Scibelli:
Andy was a great friend. And he had lots of friends. He loved music. We were on the Track Team and surfed together. He loved surfing! Hell, a big storm coming, he was ready to go! He was quick to see the positive. His optimism was infectious. He had the makings of a real leader. I could quite easily envision a remarkable life and career had he not been taken from us at such a young age. At the time I was shocked and deeply saddened when he died. With time, those feelings have healed. What stayed with me and helped me over the years is that positive, ‘can do’ attitude that Andy lived with. Thank you my friend!
Andy was one of my first friends when I moved from NYC to Selden. He was open to new people, a bit on the wild/adventorous side, and also a bit thoughtful and deep. I've never forgotten him.
