I first met Andy as a newly graduated engineer just starting at Graco. He showed me much about automated machining and how to work together to make good designs. I learned a lot from him and he influenced a lot of future products. My sympathies to Andy's family.

My heartfelt condolences to the Skowronek family. Knowing Julie the most, being my sister in law, I know it's been hard for her...to lose her sister Suzi, and now Andrew. Linda and Marc, my prayers specifically of support to you in this very difficult time. We don't always get the answers to why these things happen while we are on earth. Please continue to trust in God. He is soveriegn and will help you get through this.
