Andy Kerr, the biggest hero I will ever have known. We love you, Andy.

Dear Marjorie,
As you know now, it came as a terrible shock to both Sally and me to learn belatedly of Andy's passing. Even though we usually only saw him during golfing trips, we became very fond of him over the past 20 years. We will miss his cheerful presence. Our condolences to you and the extended family. We look forward to seeing you soon. In sadness, Burr and Sally.

Andy was obvious a fine man. I met him only briefly in connection with 2 court cases, but liked and admired him enormously.

Dear Marjorie: It was a shock to learn about your charming and accomplished husband. I'm so very sorry and send you love and sympathy. Ellin Johnson

Andy brought to the squash and tennis court a sound strategy for winning and a gracious form of fairness, reminding those around him that it was important to be a gentleman above all else. The respect he gave others in play was in bringing his A game every time.

~Gary Johnson

Marjorie: We think you already know what we think of Andy and you and your other family member that we have met, Logan. Our memories are so pleasant, remembering you year after year at Astoria for The Coast. Our hearts were always warmed by our exchanges with you all. We are shocked and saddened as I know you are too. We will truly miss his congenial smile and infectious sense of humor. God bless you during this challenging inescapable life event. Jerry and Laurie

Dear Marjorie:
Andy was a special friend. He will be greatly missed. His humor, occasional Scottish brogue, and spirit of adventure are lasting memories. Joan and my prayers are with you and your family.

We are greatly saddened that you all lost the patriarch of your family. We were "fortunate" to know Andy when Malcolm and Coleen became engaged. He welcomed us into the family with all the love and warmth that only "Andy" could do. We knew this gentle soul for 4 short years, but we grew to love him with all of our hearts. He will be missed " forever"!

Marjorie,
Andy was a terrific man. I will miss him.
My condolences,
Bill Panaretos
