Andy Amoroso, brother of Dawn, brother-in-law to Tracie, and husband of Ty, suffered a devastating stroke on Thursday night, July 16th, 2026, while alone in his Lake Worth Beach apartment. Unable to call for help for over 12 hours, Andy missed the critical "golden hour" for medical attention, which has left him with significant damage and limited movement on his left side. The hope is that with dedicated physical therapy, Andy can regain the use of his left side and work toward recovery.

Andy is a beloved figure in Lake Worth Beach, known for his generosity, humor, and commitment to the community. Over the past 30 years, he has owned several businesses and served as City Commissioner (Vice-Mayor) for more than a decade. His current business, "The Tacky Tourist," is a staple on Lake Ave., reflecting Andy’s fun-loving and whimsical spirit. As a small business owner, Andy faces a unique challenge: if his store isn’t open, he isn’t earning income to cover his rent, mortgage, and bills. This makes his recovery even more difficult, as he needs support to manage his living expenses while focusing on healing.

Andy has always given so much of himself to others, whether through his work, his leadership, or his kindness. Now, in his time of need, Tracie and the family are asking for help from the community Andy has served so faithfully. Any support you can offer will go directly toward Andy’s living expenses and recovery, helping him get back on his feet and return to the community he loves. Please join us in giving back to Andy and showing him the same care he has shown so many.
