We met and spent 3 weeks in Greece with Andy in 1998. He was one of a kind—intelligent, rebellious, thoughtful, and great fun to be with. We will miss this truly great Greek/American.

It was a pleasure to share many of good times with Andy and his family. All his knowledge and cynicism will be missed!

It's been said that a cynic is a failed romantic. But Andy's cynicism was only his response to the failure of tolerance and justice in the world, which he observed with a healthy anger. He was one of the good ones--the best of guys who spoke his mind and great heart. Not often enough did I put my arms around him, greeting him with "Andreas..." Not nearly often enough did I have that privilege.

I am saddened but knowing that Andy was ready to embrace "the great unknown". He was ready. I am honored to have sat at the tables of dinners we had and our conversations were real. He was not one to BS or to skirt the truth. My biggest regret is that I will not hear his voice , "This is Andy, leave a message." His dignity and grace are a measure for me.
I will miss you and am devoutly fond of you.
Would I have spent more time with you.
