Charles Andrew Bott

Dear Bott Family, I have only just learned of Andy's passing and am truly saddened. I was his first admin when he joined the Wyndham team. With all of my charges, I ask them to tell me about themselves so I understand their work style and expectations. Andy set the stage right away when he said he thought he'd enjoy Florida but if he won the lottery he would be off on his next adventure! We had a common interest in antiques, so in between meetings and paperwork, he enjoyed sharing his latest...

I had the pleasure of working with Andy for over 15 years, first in the Trendwest Legal Dept., and later at Wyndham. He provided calm, reasoned leadership that earned the admiration of all who worked with him. Andy was also a foody, and had a knack for finding the tiny taqueria or Indian buffet off the beaten path, much to the enjoyment of his lunch companions. He was always down to earth. Just the nicest guy. My deepest sympathies to Esther and the family.

Andy exuded honesty, integrity, intelligence, humor, simplicity, humility, kindness...I am so very sad that he is no longer here making the universe around him a much better place.

Dear Ester,

I am so sorry to hear of Andy's passing. He was a great man in every respect: kind, thoughtful, considerate, fair, smart, accessible, a mentor, a protector, a leader, supporter, humble, selfless, funny, genuine, the real deal! I am so grateful he hired me and with his guidance I was able to figure out my job and grow with the company. I had some of the best experiences in that job working with Andy in his gentle professional way. I will cherish those experiences the rest of...

Dear Andy,

You were the very best boss I ever had. You were always the smartest guy in the room and always the nicest. For seventeen years you guided me, praised me, and shielded me. I remember calling you from the top of the Empire State Building--I mean why not you? I wish so much that you could stay longer and I am so horribly sad you can't. Take care, Ester. He was a wonderful man. Love, Mark

My deepest condolences in this time of grief. I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Andy for many years and found him to be so kind and caring, generous with his knowledge to all who would approach. I am very thankful for having had the opportunity work with and learn from him. He will be greatly missed by myself and all those who knew him. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I am deeply saddened by the great loss of our dear Andy. Such a smart and humble person! He will be truly missed and I will include his wife and rest of the family in my daily prayers. Rest in peace Andy!!

My deepest sympathy to Andy's family and friends during this difficult time. May you hold the memories of him forever hold in your hearts. Andy was a very kind and wonderful man, I am thankful to have known him.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Andy for many years at Wyndham. He was a consummate professional who was incredibly smart. He also had a great sense of humor that I always enjoyed.

Ester, my heart goes out to you and the girls. I know Andy looked forward to many many years of retirement adventures with you. I am so very sorry. You are all in our prayers. May He hold and comfort you during this difficult time.
