My sincerest condolences Dawn. A sobering and unexpected loss. He was one of the "good guys" who understood where mankind is and to where it hopefully will someday go. Andy will be missed by all who called him friend.

My condolences go out to the entire Kapi family, both immediate and extended.
And to you, Andy, I will miss you. We shared many good times, whether it was politics, music, guitar, tequila, or sharing fine food.
You were one of the most intelligent people I have ever known and someone who defined the word "friend".
Your friendship and kindness through the years made my life better. I will never meet another like you.
May God grant you safe passage, my friend.

One of the more cerebral of fellows that I had the good fortune to meet in my day. Enjoyed our political jabs with Bruce and sharing our effort and time.

I am sorry to hear of Andy's passing. I have many great memories of him and I hope that his family can take comfort in their own memories. Thanks for reminding me of his love of music. His death has certainly led to my own pause to reflect on how we let important friendships lapse.

I remember Andy's HS valedictory address, delivered shortly after Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King had been assassinated. Andy cared about and worried about ordinary folks.
And, of course, he cared and worried about his beloved Yankees.
Andy was a good man and a good friend.
This is a terrible, premature loss.

I went to school with Andi and I will never forget him portraying Abe Lincoln and reciting the Gettsburg Address. I'm so sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Sharon Paradise Bolles
