Andrew Bernard Sudkamp

Andy was a cherished childhood friend. He made the difficult times more bearable, and the fun times more memorable. How fortunate I was to have had him in my life. Thank you, Andy, for the blessing of having known you.

I don't know if any one will see this... But Mr. Sudkamp was my favorite teacher... The dude was funny and always happy . I remember he told me if he ever had a daughter he would name her chrysanthemum... I left EHS in 2007, and was completely crushed when I heard the news of his passing... I hope your resting good Mr. sudkamp, I bet God is enjoying the flowers with you

Andy made everybody smile he was a true kind man

I think about Andy all the time. I still have a tufa pot he made for me in my garden. Andy gave me a pinch of a succulent that was growing on the roof of an outbuilding and I use it all over my yard. It's hard not to think about him while tending to my flowers. I miss him.

We honor Andy every day in the Evergreen Arboretum. His words echo in our hearts.

Funny this popped up in my Email today. I was just thinking about Andy yesterday. I was imagining what a political conversation would have been like with Andy over our current situation unfolding. I can just picture him going off on the crazy state the world is in right now. I miss him.

I was hired the same year as Andy to teach Floriculture alongside his Horticulture! I am a better teacher because of him. We shared excitement for the seasons and despair when beloved trees were removed from our EHS campus! His artful doodles always relaxed the tension for those around him during school meetings!! I'll forever remember your love for the botanical by gazing at the Japanese Maple at my home that was rooted by your Horticulture students over 10 years ago!! You made a difference...
