My deepest condolences to Andrew's family. I worked with Andrew at the University of the Arts. He was the kindest man and was always a perfect gentleman. Andrew went out of his way to help in any way he could. I'll always remember him saying "Anything for you, Carol." I will always have warm and fond memories of him. RIP, Andrew.

Simply the best. Anyone who came across him at any time in their lives is a better person for it. He loved life and his family and was loved as much as he loved. No one made me laugh harder or appreciate the little things in life more. At my wedding, the DJ played the 'Anniversary game' and, of course, Andrew and Rita outlasted everyone on the dance floor. They took center stage with everyone watching and slow danced to a Sinatra record. It was easy to see how much in love they were...
