I was shocked to learn of Andy's untimely death and offer my condolences to his family and close friends.

I had the pleasure of communicating regularly with Andy over the computer and finally meeting him for lunch when we both were fairly new to the LA poker scene. Although our paths took us in separate directions, I was always thrilled to see his continuing success both in writing about poker as well as tournament results.

Andy was truly a mensch in every sense of the word. He will be missed by many.

I will miss corresponding with Andy, and reading his articles. Throughout the years I have saved many of his various articles, and just now burned them all to a CD. A small thing, but I'll always enjoy going back and reading from it.

Take em to the felt up there Andy.

I am still in shock over Andy's passing, and I want to send my condolences to all who loved him and played with him. He was a credit to the game he wrote about, and it will be a long while before someone comes along with his mix of style, intellect and respect for the game. I'm sorry Andy didn't get to see the poker boom to its fruition, but his impact on the game will be felt long after it dies down. Rest well, Andy; thanks for all the insight you freely offered to all of us, and I hope I can honor your memory by living up to the standards you lived and played by.

Andrew Glazer was my cousin. I've been reading alot of the wonderful notes people have written about the "Gentle Giant" of a person he was to me. To me, he was the family man playing with my kids and making them laugh whenever Uncle Andrew would show up. I'm happy to know that he touched the lives of so many others.

He will be missed dearly.

So sorry to hear of Andy's passing. My sympathies to his family and friends. I knew him only from his doings in the poker tournament business. His tournament coverage set the benchmark for all the print media. I don't know what his goals were in poker or life, but being cut short like this, reminds me and maybe others, that because life is fragile and time is short, maybe we'd better get on with the things we want to achieve in this world. It's a shame you had to go so soon. Rest in peace, Andrew Norman Glazer.

My rabbi taught me that the truly righteous are generous not just to family and friends but to the stranger. Well, I was just an anonymous reader of Andy's columns who sought him out for advice on my first poker book. He generously offered it to me -- and I eagerly used it. I and the entire literate members of the poker community are forever in his debt.

I've been reading Andy's articles for years. I never met the man but I felt as if I knew him from his words. He did a lot for poker, he will definitely be missed.

It will probably be a long while before someone else comes along that can cover a poker event AND be better than over 90% of the people competing in it. If you would have lived just a little bit longer we might be remembering you more as a player than a writer. As it is, you were excellent at both. Rest in peace.

My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Andy. I read most of what Andy wrote, and though I did not always agree with him, I learned much from him. And I will continue to do so. Andy, you lived your life on your terms, doing what you always wanted to do, and enjoying it. Few men can say that. You are much admired and will greatly be missed.

I was honored to be Andy Glazer's friend and writing associate. He absolutely had no peer as a poker journalist, and that, along with his total honesty and integrity, made him an inspiration to all who knew him. His passing leaves a gap in the world of poker that can never be filled.
