GOOD MEMORIES COME TO MIND WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOU. YOU WERE ALWAYS A GOOD FRIEND AND GAVE ME GOOD ADVISE WHEN I NEEDED IT. I MISS YOU, BUT WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.

I miss you Drew. You were a wonderful friend and a great human being!

One year ago we lost Drew. It has been a year full of tears, sadness and adjusting to our new roles without him. Taking over Drew's tasks of bringing out the garbage, picking up Brenna's potties, oil changes for the cars, bill paying, and my latest accomplishment, mixing the gas and oil on the snow blower, it started on the second pull! That was the easy part! The hardest task is trying to live without Drew, missing the man who made the kids and me feel so loved. Never could have made it this...

Drew is spending Christmas in Heaven with his Dad. Two missing Treasure from Earth, Two Beautiful Treasure in Heaven.
We all miss you both.

Thinking of all of you this holiday season, you are a strong family, you make Drew proud. Keeping all of you in my prayers.
xoxo

Time really passes us by...it doesn't seem like Andy has been gone a year..I still remember him coming into my office and we start talking about the Bulls and the Bears and his uplifting messages to help me cope with the day. Andy you have been truly missed by your friends and family. May you continue to rest in peace.

To Jeff and the rest of the Xenakis family I extend my deepest sympathy for the loss of such a wonderful person. I met Drew in the mid-80's. He was one of a few people at that time who brought joy back into my life simply by having the great good luck to know him. I ran my first 10K with him! I lost touch with him as time went on and only recently heard the news of his passing. He has clearly made a profound impact on many lives and in that sense, his spirit lives on. I wish you peace...

My condolences to the family. I had the opportunity to know Mr. Xenakis via working as a charter school clinician. He was a kind, friendly, and goodhearted person, and I always enjoyed seeing him at the schools where I worked.

A former co-worker at CPS just told me of Drew's passing. It hit me in the gut. He was one of the very few other males in our department of hundreds, a very good guy, who also was hilarious. I had one of the biggest laughs of my life sitting next to him at a city-wide meeting. I'm so sorry to all in his family.
