Dear Mrs. Athens, Paul, Jacqueline, and all other family, members.

Dear Louise, Jacqueline and Paul,
I was saddened to hear the news of Andrews passing. He was an inspiration to so many of us. I will remember the wonderful, often poignant stories he would share about his childhood, and the causes he took on as an adult. His influences as a leader, but mostly as a caring and compassionate individual will remain vivid in my memory. Thank you for sharing him with all of us. I pray that God give you strength during this time of loss. May Andrew's memory...

My dear Louise,
It is with profound grief and deep sorrow that I heard the sad news of the passing away of your beloved husband and my good friend Andy.
Andy was a great friend and supporter of Cyprus and the causes of Hellenism.
For many years we worked closely together with Andy in our efforts to achieve a just and viable solution for Cyprus. We all know that Andy cannot be replaced and this is why we all have to work hard in order to accomplish his goals.

Jackie and family - Our deepest condolences on the loss of your father. We will keep him in our prayers.
- Joyce and the entire Bartizal Family

I will always cherish his charismatic character and warm spirit, and the great memories we shared with your family and UHAC. - John M. Linardakis
