My condolences to the family. I knew Drew briefly. We decided I would call him Drew and he would call me Dee and together we would be D square. He made a lasting impression. He helped me through a health problem I was managing in November 2014, and his perspective helped me have a more positive outlook. I loved talking with him for hours. He had a quick mind and great sense of humor. We talked about traveling. When I get to visit some of the places we talked about, I will remember him.

I will always remember Andy's kind, gentle spirit. We had many classes together in school. He turned from an awkward teen into a beautiful swan. Andy was talented and a joy to know. I will always remember our lengthy talks in art class. He was a dear. Donna George-Natsoulas
