Sadly I just read in the Princeton Alumni Weekly of Andy's passing in June. He was one of my 6 roommates at Princeton and we started out as Chemical Engineering students. After leaving Princeton he was generous enough to ask one of my roommates, Bob Graham and me to be ushers at his wedding at the Bryn Mawr Presbyterian church.
We had not kept in touch until his brother, Art, also a Princeton graduate died in 2021. Andy and I spoke on the phone about getting together after the pandemic had cooled down. RIP Andy
