We restored Andy´s 69 Camaro SS convertible. Over time we got to know Andy better and appreciated his business sense and quest for perfection. We enjoyed his visits to the shop to check on his baby. We had many conversations about the car and many other subjects, he was a good guy and is missed.

To Gwen and family, My deepest sympathy to you and your children on this tragic loss. I learned today, as I was referring someone to Andy as he was a brilliant attorney. I was his neighbor and classmate at Conestoga High School. Andy was very kind, humble and every bit a gentleman. Again my deepest sympathy.

I only just learned of Andrew's death in January of 2022. My wife and I want to note our deepest condolences on the loss of a wonderful classmate, father and noted legal practitioner.

Andy was a charismatic fellow, and together with Gwen, who I served with several years on the Philly Bar Ass'n YLS Committee, they made a great team.

We lost a close relative in a boating accident and we know firsthand the hazards of boating.

No matter how well things are going, God is the only arbiter of when you may be called to the hereafter.

We express fully our sorry at Andy's passing. He was a hard working and good person, a devoted husband, and a good father.

May his memory be eternal.

I'm still reeling from the news of Andy's loss. He was such a vibrant presence, so alive, that it is hard to realize I won't see his brilliant smile again on this earth. My heart breaks for Gwen, Jeff, Eric and Jen. What I want them to know is that Andy lived a full life; we all knew that. He was also an important and meaningful presence in the lives of so many: clients, colleagues and friends. So while none of us can approximate the loss that Gwen, Jeff, Eric and Jen are feeling, we are experiencing our own, profound, sense of loss.

Met and knew Andy from working on his boat over the past few years. I was saddened to hear the news, and offer my deepest sympathy for all his family, friends and colleagues.
He was a great guy to talk to, would always ask about me & my family. We had many laughs and conversations while onboard his beautiful boat and with so many others, I will miss him very much.
It will be okay, he is with God now, and we will meet again.

Andy and I were law school roommates, a kind caring thoughtful wonderful human being. He LOVED learning. He LOVED 'the law'. Andy set up a mock gym in our living room where he'd do countless bench-presses and read a page of Torts or Constitutional Law between each set. Though we did not stay in contact, I celebrated his published victories and his brilliant career. Sadness doesn't begin to scratch the surface of what Andy's passing means to the countless individuals fortunate to have known him, to have worked with him, and of course I pray that Andy's family maintain their individual and collective strength spirit and heart through the immeasurably sorrowful loss of their irreplaceable father and husband.
