I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Dr. Helfgott! Even though he left UT Houston Ob/Gyn a long time ago he left a wonderful lasting impression on those of us still here who remember his fun upbeat personality! My prayers and condolences go out to his family.

I am so sorry about your loss. I grew up in the five towns and I was a resident when Andy was fellow. He was a great guy and a wonderful mentor and teacher.

Claire, Saul, Bennet and Michele, what a sad and painful loss. My heart breaks for you. Certainly Andrew left a deep and meaningful legacy, not only in his work but more importantly, his life. I will think so fondly of him. I can only hope my Mom and Dad are busy catching up with him now. With much love and my deepest condolences.

Andy was a good friend of my fathers. Whenever he would come in town I would ask my dad "That's your cool friend right? The one with the ear ring?"I thought he was so cool with his swagger, cigars, and laid back attitude. Andy and I shared a passion for Hurricanes Football. Once I was old enough I would go to as many games as I could, and would often see Andy. The Canes family will never be the same without Andy. RIP dear friend.

Dr. Helfgott was a very loving, charismatic, and fun man that has played a important part in my life. I have had the privilege to know and call Dr. H a caring friend for the last five years. He was extremely nice and concerned about his staff. He will be deeply missed. My heart, prayers, and love goes out to his wife, children, and family. Dr. H may you rest in peace for God has truly chosen an awesome angel. “Go Canes"

I first met Andy over the telephone when I returned his call and got his voice message. It ended with "Go Canes." When I finally reached him, I said the Canes were not doing so well that year and he should really consider changing the message or even picking another team. He laughed and said "no way Wash." That was the way he was, when he set his mind to do something, he did it and you could depend on him.
Another memory is when we met in Tallahassee one day in the fall to attend the Noles/Canes game or as he would say the Canes/Noles game. He loved those Canes. We tail-gated, shared advice, told stories, probably some lies, ate and had one or two drinks all in the heavy pouring rain. I really forgot who won the game (probably the Noles) but it was a good, memorable and enjoyable day away from our many tasks and just with friends. We were buddies. He talked frequently about many of his hopes and desires. We were also confidants as his successful career which was shortened way to soon moved along.
Andy also loved his wife and children and made many many sacrifices for them along the way just so they would be cared for and comfortable. He talked about the long trip on weekends from St. Petersburg to Georgia to see and be with them but he did it for his family.
Andy loved and cared also for the SMFM. Many of us nominated, voted and supported him to become a Board member. He was so pleased when he made it. So where many of us. I sure am pleased now that he received that honor. He showed that he deserved it through his hard work and program planning. He so much wanted to make the 2015 meeting but God had other plans. He is gone far to soon and will be missed as well as his caring spirit, work, advice and encouragement by many of us.
It is a sad day. Rest well friend forever. Go Canes!!
Until we meet again,
