I got the urge to google Andrew Corbiere and found his obituary I'm sorry to say. I served with him on Okinawa. Those were good times. Sayonara Andy.

I had the pleasure of knowing and being friends with Andrew during our years together at Summit Technology in both Watertown and Waltham where Andrew was a Quality Engineer and QUALITY person. He brought the same attitude to work and play. All out. I see my friend Dave Haley of 2 Bones and A Pick fame has already posted on here. Andrew was out at my home for a few 2 Bones parties as he loved those guys and I was happy to have him here. I and other co-workers and friends respect him and will miss him. I will say that Andrew, in essense was a very worldly person without an ego problem. And the world was better off for having him.

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knows why.

You lived so few years, yet filled them well. You dove the coral reefs of the Orient, and the souls of your feet pressed the dusty earth of Africa. You rode your cycle faster than I dared, skied mountains steeper than I've climbed. You were strong, so smart, and so incredibly funny. Who else would have named our sloop the "Sea Turkey"? Yes, your life seems to have been so short, but it was full, very full. I will miss you big brother.

Siblings of Andrew, He was a great friend whose kindness was effortless and endless. He saw the world and did it all. He led a full life and will be missed greatly, especially by me.

Andrew was a great guy and a good friend to my late brother and I and our band "two bones and a pick". I will never forget his generosity, lust for life and his love of animals(for my dog snooks). I will raise a pint to him often and he will be in my thoughts and prayers. d. haley

Todd, Eben, Steven, Suzanne, Lianne and Wendy,

I don't think words can adequately express the sorrow over a loss like this. Andy was way too young to have this happen but not many people I know made such good use of their time. I had hung out with Andy a few times over the years but there's one day up in New Hampshire I'll never forget. He will be missed.



Adam.
