Dear Jake, Doreen, and Margot,
I'm heartsick to hear of the loss of Andrew - such a beautiful, bright boy. He's an integral part of my West Hill and commuting memories. I heard just recently and hope that you remain full of happy memories and gratitude to have shared a life with such a remarkable young man. Love, Jen

I knew Andrew very well, I lived with him for two years at college. He was an incredible person. He was one of those people that had "it". People flocked to him. He was a gregarious, charismatic friend who had a great heart and a balanced mind. He was a musician and also great at math, thanks for the calculus help bud, I miss you.

I was very saddened to hear about Andrew. Him and I were neighbors, and friends, while attending school in Santa Cruz. He was such a great person all around, and I feel privileged to have had him as my friend. My deepest sympathies go out to your family.
Sincerely,
Scott

Dear Hurwitz Family,
It has been a long time since I've seen you guys and Andrew, but every year in late May I would always get a birthday email from him. Just to remind each other of the good old days when we didn't have a worry in the world. I remember when we were little and we thought it was so cool that we shared the same birthday. We always thought maybe we were related in some way since the two tiny, brown haired, brown eyed, Jewish boys were born on the same day :).
