ANDREW PAUL O'DONNELL

It's difficult to believe we're approaching 13 years since Andrew passed. Simply want to share that Andrew's kind heart and infectious laugh are not forgotten. Tom & June Zimmerman

My dearest Dorothy,
Tom just shared the sad passing of your beloved...I am so sorry for your profound loss. My heart is breaking for you. For as long as you two were together, you were the perfect couple. I admired and envied you both as a kid! Please consider giving me a call-570-326-5975- I would love to hear from you and re-connect.
With great saddness,

Dear Dorothy,

I just discovered Andy's obituary earlier today and am so saddened. I have many fond memories of making the trek to your home when in Philadelphia, enjoying coffee, watching the finches, nudging the dogs and sharing great conversations. Andy's warmth and welcoming smile will always stay with me. He is as much a part of Philadelphia and our extended family as anyone. Please accept our condolences.

Love,
Tom and June Zimmerman

Dear Dorothy:
We were very saddened to hear about Andrew. We always talk about him and did this weekend during the Grammy's and Neil Young! I want to thank you both for how wonderful you both were when you came into John's life. It was pretty incredible after all these years to meet a family he never knew. And the awesome part about it was his family was so open to being part of our life. John said it was great because he meshed so well with his cousin Andrew. Something our family can...

I never had the pleasure of meeting Andy but being a fellow photo friend on Flickr,
I could tell by his images that he was
passionate and caring about what he loved.
Condolences go to his family.

I'm going to miss Andy so much. He was such an amazing guy in his ability to be up beat every time I met him. Such a great photographer. An eye for amazing shots. He also had no problems walking up to anyone and talking. Had such a way of being just his own down to earth, charismatic self. He's going to be missed.

I had met Andy on a few scheduled occasions with some local friends to take and talk photos but also saw him from time to time at local events in West Philly or just around town in the city. He was always a warm, friendly guy who wouldn't hesitate to take time out of his own routine to just walk and talk, share tips and advice or just tell great stories from his past. My condolences to his extended family.

Dorothy,
We never met, but Andy and I became friends over the years in the online photo community Flickr. I had him over at my house several times for gatherings and we shared many conversations on photowalks through the city. His stops into Reading Terminal (my day job) to chat were always wonderful. His smile and irrepressibly cheery demeanor will be dearly missed.

Dorothy -

I am so sorry for your loss and I'm sorry we've lost touch over the years. I never knew Andrew, but from what I've read, we are kindred spirits.
