Andrew C. Katsulas

In the alpabetical world of McBride High School I sat behind Andy for most of four years. We appeared together in plays on the tiny gymnasium stage. I remember him as a very private person, but with a good sense of humor. I regret that I did not see him perform on stage again, and that our paths did not cross after high school. My sympathies to his wife and children.

Dear Gilla, Katherine and Michael-
We are so very sad to hear of your husband and Dad's death. Andy was a part of my first childhood memories. He lived upstairs from my Grandma Koetting, and his Mom, Bessie, was one of the kindest people to me. I still have a doll she gave me. I wrote to her until she died. I remember a cake she baked once and it had a prize inside....and I remember hoping that I would be the lucky one! Butchie was always kind and once tried to entertain me when I was...

To Andy's Family. I am one of the oldest of Andy's friends - I lived in the downstairs apt. when Andy's Mother carried him for nine months.
Our families have been friends for 60+ years. It is incredible such a wonderful person has been taken so young. He and my son went to McBride, St. Louis U and were actors from day one. God rest your soul, Butchie. The whole Koetting Family.

My deepest sympathy to his family. I was a childhood friend from the greek community where he grew up. We watched, with heartfelt pride, as he became the great actor and wonderful man that he was. "Butch" we will miss you and we love you.

Dear Kate and Family:

I want to extend my deepest sympathy for your loss. I am a friend of Kate's from 8th grade on, though I lost contact after high school graduation. I hope that your family and friends will surround and comfort you during the difficult days ahead. I lost my mother when I was 17 and I know how hard the loss of a parent is. Take care and please email me if I can help you in any way.

Sincerely,

Sharon J. Watson

I am a member of the local Star Trek Fan Club, USS Discovery, and have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Katsulas on a number of occasions when he was a guest at our local conventions. I especially remember the first convention I met him at held at the St. Louis Airport Hilton. He sat and spoke with our group for quite a while and was most gracious with his stories even sharing that he attended my alma mater St. Louis University and his time performing at the late Laclede Theatre. My prayers...

Please accept my condolences on your loss. It was my pleasure to act as host to Andrew at two science fiction conventions here in St. Louis in the last several years. He was a delightful man, and a wonderful actor, and always happy to come to St. Louis conventions both to visit his family and his fans. He was kind to everyone and always cheerful and fun to be around. He will be missed.

I met Mr. Katsulas at Archon in 2003 when he was a guest of the convention. He was a gracious and enthusiastic guest. I wish to express my sympathy to his family on behalf of the convention committee and staff. We will miss him. - Michelle Zellich, Chair, Archon 30

I wish to extend my sympathy. I am the sister of Eugene Brezany. He and Andrew attended McBride High School together and remained friends for sometime afterwards. I remember attending his wedding with my brother. Sincerely, Martha Brezany
