Default Deleting rows with same address

I have a spreadsheet with 6 columns; 1-name (last name, first name),
2-address1, 3-address2 4-city, 5-state and 6-zip code. The spreadsheet shows
members of my organization. I am trying to stop sending two mailings to the
same address to save postage.

I need help in creating a formula or a macro to:

1. Sort by zip code, state, city, address1 and address2
2. Check to see if address is the same as one above.
3. If so, check to see if last name is the same as one above
4. If 3 & 4 are yes, take the first name of the second row and add it to
the first name of the first row, insert an ampersand (&) [e.g. Jane & Joe Doe)
5. Delete the second row

Any and all help will be appreciated!
