Our sincerest sympathies to all of you.

David Cheney and Family

My condolences to the Riseberg Family, Andy was great to work with, very sharp memory, and a great listener to customers. He will be missed.

Marilyn, I am so shocked to hear of the loss of your son---just so sad. I just had to let you know how sad I feel. There are really no words except to say how sorry I am for your loss. May the memories of Andrew keep you strong. Sandra Farmelant Stark

My sincere condolences to all of Amdy's family and frIends. I worked with Andy at Oracle and knew him from our days at the University of Rochester. He will be missed but not forgotten.

Marilyn,
Immediately I was struck by Andrew's physical resemblance to Leslie....his resume reflects his parental roots. No doubt he made you very proud which only exacerbates this great loss. My wife, Lyn Safian (formerly Safran) remembered you from Beth El.

So sorry for your loss,Larry Bendell

Marilyn --

Linda and I are very sorry to hear of your loss. Our deepest sympathies and I know those of our classmates of '60, are with you. Time is pasing us by all too quickly, and none too kindly...

Andy and I worked together at Oracle, and knew each other from Sudbury. I was very surprised when he walked in to interview, and we caught up after many long years. We grew to be friends and kept in touch. I am very sorry to hear the news that he passed and will remember him as a smart and easygoing friend.

Dearest, long lost friend,
We met through my roommate, and quickly grew to a group of friends. We loved seeing the dead, cooking FANTASTIC meals together, watching you in amazement, plucking your guitar, knowing you were an exceptionally talented golfer as well. We worked together to begin your career in software sales....you excelled. I watched you from the sidelines, myself, leaving the high pressure sales world for diapers and late night feedings, you, making your mark on Oracle. I am,so seeply sorry for your wife, your mother and your sister and countless friends you are sure to have had. We lamented when,Jerry Garcia died, couldnt believe it.....we were stunned, as I am stunned your tour on earth ended so unfairly. For now, jam with Garcia, visit with your dad and one day when we finally meet again, we'll agree, what a long, strange trip it's been. Rest in peace, Andy.

Since 2003, Andy was one of my closest friends at Oracle and from longtime sales teammate / cube mate, to golf buddy, and fellow guitarist / Grateful Dead enthusiast, his contagious and positive energy was a unique blessing that touched all who knew him. I was fortunate enough to call him friend and he will be greatly missed. I send my deepest condolences to the Riseberg family as well as his wife Andresa.

To quote one of his favorite Dead songs "The wheel is turning and you cant slow down, you cant let go and you cant hold on, you cant go back and you cant stand still,if the thunder don't get you than the lightning will."

Rest in peace brother. One day we'll jam again.

I wanted to extend my sympathy to the Riseberg family. Andy was a wonderful friend to me and my life was better for having known him!

I am so terribly sorry to hear of Andrew's passing. Andy and I worked together for several years at Oracle. He always had a friendly smile and warm heart. May warm memories provide comfort to help you all through this difficult time.

Hi Andressa:

I was stunned by your phone call. I just can't believe. Hang in there. You found the perfect guy and it's really sad to see this happened to you. May God bless you thru this.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

All of us who knew Andy were enriched by his friendship and had our lives brightened by his spirit.

My prayers and sympathies go out to Andresa and his family and friends.

Andy, I had no other friend like you. You were special and I am going to miss you dearly.

Much Love,

Jonathan Wise

I'm stunned, speechless and truly heartbroken by this news. Andy was a dear friend and a wonderful soul. I'm so sad right now that words can not convey my grief.

We shared so many things from music to computers and then I introduced him to my passion - Disc Golf. I took him to play his first round of Disc Golf at Borderlands State Park and he then passed his passion for the sport along to his friend Ross. Andy fell in love with Disc Golf and then he fell in love with Andresa.

Andy came to visit me in Maui about 11 and a half months ago because he wanted to introduce me to Andresa and he wanted to show her Maui. He told me he met the love of his life and he couldn't wait for me to meet her.

He flew to Maui and then the four of us - Me, my other half Kim Watkins, Andy & Andresa - shared one last afternoon together at the Hyatt Regency Maui pool where they were staying.

The four of us spent a delightful afternoon eating nachos & chicken wings, sitting by the pool and having a few Mai Tai's. Always the generous soul, he would not let me pick up the tab... "Your money is no good here" he told me. My last meal with Andy was nachos & chicken wings and a few Mai Tai's sitting seaside in Maui. He wouldn't have had it any other way.

He was so excited that Andresa and Andy were perfect names that were perfectly matched together. It was the happiest I had ever seen him.

We talked often of
golf and we had played many rounds together at Round Hill. His favorite golf story was talking about playing St. Andrews and the challenge of the infamous "Road Hole".

We shared a mutual love of the Grateful Dead and a love of computers and music and golf and disc golf. He said he couldn't wait to take me out on his new boat.

I am proud to say that he was one of my best friends that I have ever had and one of the. I was honored to sit shiva wit him at has fathers funeral. Andy was honest, caring, intelligent, compassionate, hard working, fun loving, loyal, jovial, and above all a great listener who always had great advice, told great stories, and had a love of life that was unparalleled and it shined from within. He glowed.

I will always miss him and I am so thankful that I got to see him one last time.

Rest peacefully my dear brother. We will meet again someday.

Your Friend For Ever, I'll miss you buddy.
