Maryanne,
I don't know if you remember me, but I was a friend of Andy's from Great American--we met when he moved to Utah! (What an experience...)
I was shocked to learn of his death today. He was an amazing person and the world will forever be a little different without him.
He was incredibly generous and thoughtful and funny--all things I know you know. The fact that he kept in touch with me periodically for the more than 15 years after we left Utah is a testament to what a good friend he was.
I am flooded with funny and wonderful memories of Andy. My thoughts are with you and your children.

"Nuge" and I were classmates at Faith Hope, and had some good times back then. At our reunion a couple years ago we both enjoyed re-living those memories.

Maryanne and Family,
My heart is heavy for your loss and my prayers are with you.
Andrew made an impact in my life and I feel it important for you to know because his gifts to many of us will continue on - in 1998 a chance call from a hungry headhunter landed me at an internet start up in San Francisco. That career change then propelled me into the business I own today - his gift of instilling confidence in his subjects was and will remain impressive. Without his coaching and help my path may have been very different and I am thankful for that chance intersection.
Throughout the years Andrew and I stayed in touch - mostly on business issues - but we always found time to talk about our familys. His love for each of you was evident each time we spoke - you could almost see him smiling with pride on the other end of the phone. I know that his love for you transcended time and space and that he is with you always.
By chance (again), Andrew died on my birthday - I do believe we meet people for a reason and it's your job on this planet to make an impact when you can - Andrew made an impact on me and you and he will not be forgotten.
My God hold you in the hallow of his hand.

Andrew was a great mate. He was fun, interesting, generous and knowledgeable. I loved his energy and power. He invited my wife and I to visit with his family and self when we in the states this NH summer. I will always regret we were unable to make that visit. Perhaps the next time I am in the USA I can visit with his wife, kids and parents. Jim Crowe, Sydney, Australia

Dear Maryanne,
I was thinking of you both recently as Andrew added me as a friend on facebook. I remembered the two of you as the best of friends and it made me smile to think about the people who have known us the longest and loved us the most on our paths. You and your family are in my prayers.

I worked with Andrew for the last eight years and he was such a delight to work with. I had lunch with Andrew and John when they flew to Cleveland for a client meeting and then a year later had coffee with them at Starbucks. I remember Andrew saying to me when I told him I had never been to a Starbucks, he laughed and shook his head "you have never been to a Starbucks? I said no and he thought that was funny. He will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Maryanne and family as well as his partner and long time friend John Davidson and his family
