I first met Andy when he was an Ameri-Corps worker at SWPC years ago. What a wonderful man. I'm glad to have met him. Rose O'Keefe, Rochester

My condolences to the family. We lived across the street in Brighton on Glen Ellyn Way and I have memories of ball games in the back yard, and the dog - a boxer. Very sorry for your loss much too soon.

To Andy's family and friends -- I cannot imagine that anyone who met Andy and spent even a short time with him would forget him. He had the wonderful and rare gift of making people feel that he was truly interested in what they had to say. He had great curiosity about many things and a good sense of humor, which made the times that Bob and I spent with him over the past twenty years interesting and memorable

To Andy: We are grateful to have known you and will remember your kind and gentle ways with fondness and a hope that we will see you again -- possibly on the Rainbow Bridge with our dogs.
