Andy was much more than a coworker to me. He was a friend and I will treasure all of the great memories I had with him over the years we worked together. He never felt sorry for himself with all of the health challenges he had and one thing he always showed to me was his deep love for his family and his wife Pat who was and is the greatest care provider in the world. Andy, rest in peace and just know sooner or later we will see you again where there is no pain. Goodbye for now friend!

Hi Pat,
I am so sorry to hear about Andy...He was such a nice guy. My Mom was at StMarys a little over a week ago. When I was taking her home a week ago Sunday I seen the name Andy Biba on a room. I was going to stop and see if it was Andy but didn't want to bother him. Now I wish I would have. I really liked Andy. I wish you well and will keep you in my prayers

Andy will always live in our hearts! He was very special to me and I thoroughly enjoyed his joshing me, his humor and his strength in keeping positive and thankful...never complaining!
I met Andy while working evenings at Pranges at East Towne in the late 1970's and later was happy to find he worked at DOR when I began work there.
Even though our times together have been limited, I will never forget the light he shed on my life and the warm feelings I had when he was around. He leaves a great legacy of life and love and my sympathy goes out to Pat and the rest of his family!

Aunt Pat and Family: My condolences on the passing of Uncle Andy, one tough cookie. I pray that your sorrow is lifted with fond memories and some his humor. I will never forget his friendly ribbing which always made folks laugh; and the precious times at the farm deer hunting, espcially the goofy antics and cabin time. I will really miss Uncle Andy, but he still puts a smile on my face with every memory.

Aunt Pat and Family, Our condolences on the passing of Uncle Andy. He lead a full and happy life. He didn't let his medical conditions keep him from enjoying life. He was such a "teaser". I will always remember his big smile and kind words. All our love, Annette, Bob, John, Katherine & Jakob Schoeberle - Edwardsville, IL
