Andy was a native of Messina, Sicily, Italy. He journeyed to the United States in 1941 at the age of 14 with his family. On September 4, 1949, he married Dorothy (DeNisco) and the couple moved to Revere, where they began their family. Andy was a proud and loving husband and father of four children.
All of his working career was spent as a proprietor owning and operating gas stations in Revere, Saugus and Lynnfield. His life was devoted to his family, who he loved unconditionally. He was truly a devoted husband, caring for his wife at home until her passing in 2010. Andy later moved to Brooksby Village, where he continued to live a fully active life. There he was active and participated in many of the activities, especially playing his card games where he made friends. He also enjoyed playing bingo, as well as being an avid golfer, and he once got a Hole in One, which he was very proud of. His faith was extremely important to him, and it was apparent. Above all else, family was the most important and he loved being with them all.

(DeNisco) D’Amico; the loving father of Lauragale “Laura†D’Amico and her husband, Thomas DeSisto of Middleton, Rosemary “Cooki†DiBartolomeo and her husband, Darren of Lynnfield, Dorothy “Donna†Petrella and her husband, Peter of Peabody and the late Andrew R. “Bobby†D’Amico, Jr. and his surviving wife Geraldine D’Amico of Andover.
