Not sure what to say?

Though I spent some time at South House freshman year, I don't remember meeting Andy until we both wound up at Mather.

What I recall from Mather days is getting to know Andy slowly and not ever all that well. We had some common ground, but for the most part I felt like we were inhabiting different planets in a vast universe. He was helpful to me at times in dealing with my first big gay love relationship and after college he guided me to find work at 1270 (he had the better...

I am so sad that Andy has passed away. I am the third college friend whom Nancy Eng mentioned in her entry below, who sublet an apartment in New York with Andy the summer after graduation. Although I had not been directly in touch with Andy for ages, I always remembered his wonderful spirit. It was great seeing him on those few occasions that I did run into him, including Nancy's wedding and our 25th college reunion. I also loved meeting Eddie at that reunion; he and Andy were such a...

I am deeply saddened by this news. I had not seen Andy in years but I had kept in touch through his sisters. Andy was one of my best students at Pearl High in Nashville.

I was very saddened to hear about Andy's death. I first met Andy in college where we lived on the same floor and ate together in the dining hall almost every night. I was happy to see Andy having such a good time at our 25th college reunion which is the last time I saw him.

The summer after college we shared a sublet in NYC with another college friend. Occasionally, we would see Andy on his visits back to Boston. Several years ago my family and I went to visit him in his cute...

I only talked to Andrew after the death of his younger brother and I found him to be quite a warm and charming induvidual. I am so sorry to hear of his passing this morning. SJM

Though my encounter with Andy was brief, I will treasure that memory. My heart goes out to you all in your time of loss.

Thank you Andy for your life...your life of purpose and passion. Thank you for touching all of our lives and making this a better place to be. Your legacy will live on in all of us and in all the lives you have changed forever. You were one of the "good ones" at Heller Ehrman and in the law profession in general. You lived your personal and professional life with conviction and purpose, but always being a kind, human being first and foremost. Thank you for touching my life. Marty - former...

I was very saddened to hear of Andy's passing and wish to give my heartfelt sympathies to his loved ones. I worked with Andy years ago when, I too, was an employee of Heller, Ehrman and I remember him as always being a lot of fun and a pleasure to know. I will keep him in my prayers. Sabrina Titelbaum

I worked closely with Andy for years at Heller Ehrman, he as a corporate attorney, I as a corporate secretary for other attorneys and as a notary public. We worked on the same floor, and together with his secretary, Ann Harker Boyd, we had tremendous fun in our work place. I helped him out with notarizations. Andy helped me out with questions relating to my own testamentary documents. He was a tremendous and gregarious spirit who laughed and shared his joie-de-vivre with those around him, he...
