Andrew R. Apel

Sorry to hear about Andrew`s passing. I met him many years ago and admired his passionate and well-thought contributions to the scientific debate. My condolences to your family and those around you.

I had known Andy professionally and personally for nearly three decades. A man of great intellect and sharp wit, Andy was a whirlwind in the area of GM crops debate. I interacted daily with him for many years as he was a frequently contributor to my online discussion board AgBioView from agbioworld.org. We were together at the Vatican attending a forum on agbiotech. He and Maureen once drove two hours to see me in Des Moines. I will miss you Andy!

Andy was a respected, passionate and highly-effective advocate for the application of sound science in forming public policies around agriculture production and related issues. His contributions made a significant difference and his voice will be sorely missed.

May God's promise found in John 6:40, of the hope to see our loved ones again, comfort your heart and give you peace, strength, and hope in the days ahead.

Maureen, so sorry to read about Andrew. I remember the joy of your wedding day. May the consolation of your faith in the eternal God and good memories sustain you in the days ahead.

So sorry to hear of Andy's passing. You are in my thoughts.

I´m sorry. So many fond memories to name a few....boss,employee,friend,groomswomen,3000gt,bonjovi,Anneliese,Ray,Opa,Marty and Marie.
