Not sure what to say?

My mother (Norma), brother (Ryan) and I met Andy, Barbara and Adam in McLean Gardens in the early 1970s when I was very young - probably 6 or 7 years old. The Vogts became our very close family friends and due to my young age in the early 1970s, I don´t remember life before Andy. In addition to being brilliant, Andy had such a kind heart, would do anything for you, and had a knack for turning any mundane activity into an adventure. I have so many fond memories of Andy. One of my favorite...

Andy was a brilliant mathematician, but he was totally opposite to the almost autistic type so common among mathematicians. He was interested in live people perhaps even more than in abstract ideas. He was open minded without any prejudice, willing to listen and to help all kinds of people including some crazy ones. It is very difficult for me to write about him in the past tense; in my memories he is so strongly associated with DC that it is hard to believe that he is not any more physically...

Andy and Barbara and I met in the early 1970s in Seattle. Since then we've shared countless Thanksgiving dinners, foreign travel, and most major life events, including each other's weddings, and the day after Adam's birth. I miss especially the early morning conversations Andy and I had before the rest of the household was up when he told me about his early boyhood in California.

What a blessing it was for me to have known Andy. I think of him often and truly miss him. RIP

Andy was a wonderful man - humorous, modest, and incredibly insightful. Though he left us so cruelly early, he remains in our hearts and we will always celebrate having known him. I am grateful to the good Lord for having leant us his presence.

Miss you, pops.

We are heart broken on hearing this news. RIP, dear friend.

It was a pleasure to service Andy's and his family's vehicles. He always brightened our days with his kindness for nearly two decades, Andy will truly be missed.

First year student in calculus, later his TA. Brilliant and kind man. Andy, may God bless you and may he comfort your family.
