Sending deepest condolences to the family for the loss of their beloved father, grandfather and husband. May his memory be a blessing to you always. — Raisa Romaelle on Andy Koutsoudakis Sr., owner of Tribeca’s Kitchen, dies from the coronavirus

There are no words. Andy is truly irreplaceable person - he always made everything better with his big heart and smile. He will be missed. Love and condolences to the family. — Demetri on Andy Koutsoudakis Sr., owner of Tribeca’s Kitchen, dies from the coronavirus

This is heartbraking news. Andy was a fixture of the community and a visible symbol of a community within a community. His warmth and kindness and smile is what Caroline and our boys and I will remember. Condolences to the extended family. — Paul Mutter on Andy Koutsoudakis Sr., owner of Tribeca’s Kitchen, dies from the coronavirus

On the first day Andy opened we walked in and our friendships were sealed. We shared our fates and fortunes and love for all these years with Andy. This summer we were to visit an ancient monastery in greece together,it was our dream,it was all planned. This hole in my life and my heart will never be filled. Yes he will be forever fishing, hope is always bountiful. With love to his family and staff. — Charlie and Susan on Andy Koutsoudakis Sr., owner of Tribeca’s Kitchen, dies from the coronavirus

I am just gutted. This is a catastrophic loss. Andy was such a warm, generous, loving, optimistic man. He stood for everything our city and the world needs more of. He would always let me work on the third level so I could write without distractions and then magically - a black and white cookie would arrive on the house. We would sit and talk about his family here and in Greece and how he would light up at the thought of them all. I couldn't walk past the restaurant without tapping on the glass to wave and say hi. He would give you that big smile and wave and you would carry his good energy with you the rest of the day. I can't imagine this neighborhood without him. I can't imagine the grief his family and friends are going through. I can think of no better way to remember a man than to say - he made your day better. He made your community better. To his family - you have my deepest condolences. My heart is with you and just know that so many of us loved him and cherished him and his gentle, kind spirit. He made us all love living in New York a little more and he comforted us with his company as much as his food and lifted our spirits with his warm presence. Andy made you feel like family - as if he was everyone's favorite uncle. Andy, oh man Andy we will miss you so much. Travel easy my friend. Next time we meet, the black and white's on me. Adio Andy. — FRANK JOHN HUGHES on Andy Koutsoudakis Sr., owner of Tribeca’s Kitchen, dies from the coronavirus

I literally cried as I created this video tribute yesterday...you never think it will touch someone you care about. Andy was so much more than a client...we always greeted each other with a hearty "Hello, My Friend!" and a double cheek kiss....his smile was infectious and he was incredibly kind-earted. He will be missed terribly by so many. #STAYHOME — Tif on Andy Koutsoudakis Sr., owner of Tribeca’s Kitchen, dies from the coronavirus

i am crushed. he was genuinely one of the most wonderful people that ever walked this earth — nicki on Andy Koutsoudakis Sr., owner of Tribeca’s Kitchen, dies from the coronavirus

I cannot believe this. He was truly a wonderful man, always at the door welcoming us in, always a smile on his face. Anytime we went in he came to our table, asked my husband and I how our family was and always told us about his family who he loved dearly. Was so happy when the new baby was born. He will be greatly missed. Our deepest condolences to his entire family. — Lorraine Fittipaldi on Andy Koutsoudakis Sr., owner of Tribeca’s Kitchen, dies from the coronavirus

Andy was a good man. He always thought of others. He always greeted us in his restaurant and treated us like family. Sorry to learn of his passing. May God great him in heaven with loving arms. — Colleen and Ed wallach on Andy Koutsoudakis Sr., owner of Tribeca’s Kitchen, dies from the coronavirus

God has just pulled up one of the greatest patriots our country has been honored to have. I am heart broken but truly privileged to have such an honorable man as a friend. His footprint is indelible and Andy has touched so many lives with his kindness - including the First Responder community which he supported strongly. His beautiful family is a testament to his greatness, and I will truly miss this great man. So many fond memories in Gee Whiz and the Tribeca Kitchen, thanks to Andy's compassion and friendship. God bless you, my friend, and your beautiful memory. Andy, you are a true giant. — Jon Adler on Andy Koutsoudakis Sr., owner of Tribeca’s Kitchen, dies from the coronavirus

We are heartbroken. When we first heard that he had passed, we didn't want to believe it. We hoped it was a mistake. For us, Andy was a grounding force. When the news of the day felt overwhelming, Andy was there with his bright, warm smile, and a hearty welcome, and the trickle-down effect of his kindness and leadership was expressed by his lovely staff. On days when we were just passing by, Andy would step out and ask us how we were doing, and he'd share his thoughts about what was on his mind. We'd talk about changes that were taking place in the neighborhood... If anyone in Andy's family is reading this, please know that he made our days brighter. We respected Andy for his generosity, and kindness, and his ability to keep on keepin' on, even as it's become increasingly difficult for independent restaurants to survive in Manhattan. We will not forget him, and the neighborhood will never feel the same without Andy. Our hearts are with you. — Kimberly M. Wang on Andy Koutsoudakis Sr., owner of Tribeca’s Kitchen, dies from the coronavirus

My heart goes out to his family and to his wonderful and kind staff. Andy was always so incredibly gracious to my family. My kids would always say let’s go see Andy when we would be deciding where to go for lunch. You will be so so missed. — TriBeCa mom on Andy Koutsoudakis Sr., owner of Tribeca’s Kitchen, dies from the coronavirus

Andy was a great, loving presence in our neighborhood. Always made us feel welcome. Tribeca's Kitchen was a great gathering spot on Sundays, full of laughter and children and families. And that was because of Andy. We will miss his smile, his joyous nature. Condolences to his family. — Eric Bogosian on Andy Koutsoudakis Sr., owner of Tribeca’s Kitchen, dies from the coronavirus

Losing Andy’s sense of humor, kindness, and smiling face will leave a large hole in our community. May he Rest In Peace. — Mominnabe on Andy Koutsoudakis Sr., owner of Tribeca’s Kitchen, dies from the coronavirus
