Dear Jeanne and Ed,
Learning of your grief in losing your son -- "our little
Andy" -- whom Bill knew from the day he was born and I met when he was four years old and fell in love with at first sight. leaves all of us with a heavy heart. It seems almost impossible; in our sorrow we know no words can console you in your loss. The little boy we knew was such a fun kid to be around! Reading about him as an adult makes me know he grew up to be everything anyone could have hoped for in a son; intelligent with a marvelous disposition, a happy heart. Dear friends, we are so sorry. So very very sorry. (We cherish the beautiful Program of his Memorial. Our friend Harris Simon sent it to us.) Andrew E. Crapol, you will always be loved. Sincerely, Josemarie and Bill

Ed and Jeanne,
Memories of wonderful times with you and your family come to me so strongly over so many years, and I am so very, very shocked and saddened to hear of Andrew's death. What a beautiful and fine young man he grew up to be. Fredrika Teute send me a card that arrived today and told me about his death. You are so much in my thoughts, dear friends from our youth.
I am in Florida now, where I took care of my mom for some years. Much love and sympathy to you from Joy (formerly Barnes). I'm at [email protected]

To the family and friends of Andy Crapol, I knew Andy in high school and the first years of undergrad college. I met Andy through a fellow friend and teamate of his, Matt Hansen, and upon hearing your loss I am at a loss for words. Andy was a diamond in the ruff, a gentleman who carried a life force that burned so brightly that even his smile after an Andy story made everybody around him just simply want to be better. Better people, better all around. He lived the life of a 70 year old man squeezed into 30 years, and that is the only solace I seem to find in this hard time for everybody that knew Andy. May we all strive to live a life as full as Andy´s.

I had the pleasure of meeting Andrew back in 2005 while I was still in high school. I used to go to D.C. to visit my brother Sergio, and Andrew was one of Sergio's friends who immediately embraced me with open arms, telling me that if I ever needed anything, not to be afraid to ask. Every time I had visited since then, I got to hang out with Andy at sporting events, clubs, restaurants. He always had the greatest stories to tell; he lived his life to the fullest. I feel honored that the last time I saw him was only a few months ago, and I gave him a hug, thanking him for the subsequent platter of wings, brisket, ribs, and pork from Rockland's that he so generously bought for us. I'll never forget you Andy, and I love you.

Dear Dr. Crapol,
My heart goes out to you and your family at the loss of your beloved son Andy. Having read all of his accomplishments, you must feel immense pride and sorrow.
I am a former student of yours at W & M and have wanted to contact you for some time. I am sorry that this is the event that has caused me to contact you. I am Helen Sims Mitchell, class of 1970 and you were my favorite professor. You were my inspiration and I actually made all As in your classes. I am now in my 39th year of teaching, mostly high school, and am the chairman of my department at Bethel High School. And yes, I teach American History.
My very best to you and you are in my heart and prayers.
Respectfully,
Helen Mitchell,[email protected]

My sincerest condolences to Andrew's and his wife's families. I was shocked to have received the news today. I attended all three years of law school with Andrew and played soccer with him on the law school's city-league team. He was one of the nicest players and persons around, never with a negative word. And as nice as he was, he was an even harder worker on the soccer field -- he was the one guy who would voluntarily run wind sprints after kick-around, just to improve. Not that he needed to improve; he was already perhaps the best player around in those days. A good man. I will miss him, and I am so sorry for the loss. Brooks

I had the distinct pleasure of getting to know Andy during his first year of law school in Long Island (despite the fact that we grew up a mere matter of miles from one another). We shared the high honor of being the only two sons of Williamsburg, VA to grace the hallowed halls of Hofstra (perhaps ever). In any event, aside from the coincidence of having grown up in the same town, Andy struck me, and all of our classmates, as being one of the kindest and most charismatic people we'd ever come across. From the soccer field to the depths of the law library, he was a constant source of good humor. Andy was a truly remarkable man. My thoughts are with you, and all who had the pleasure of crossing his path. With love, SAR

Andy's sudden passing has left us all stunned. We want to let you know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers daily. We last saw Andy at the Family Reunion.

The Henry family sends its thoughts and prayers to you during this most trying time. Doug, Andy's W&M teammate reminded us that not only was Andy a skilled player, but he possessed the sense of humor that made the game! Being from Milwaukee we knew of the Zeidler name before we met Andy, but he clearly inherited the gift of caring. Andy's life was a blessing for all who knew him.

Dear Crapol Family:
Our thoughts and deepest sympathy are with you upon the irreplaceable loss of Andy. We remember him with love and joy when he was barely walking as a toddler and always kicking a soccer ball, especially at his older brother, Paul's, soccer games. He was so happy and a joy to watch as a toddler and then grow as an accomplished young man. He was a blessing and now one of the stars that shines bright in the firmament of the night sky. With love, prayers and again our deep sympathy, The Panbehchi Family.

Andy was such a kind, thoughtful and charming person. He had a giant heart and always knew how to make you feel like a million bucks.

He will be greatly missed and our deepest sympathies go out to Allison and the Crapol family. You'll always be in our hearts Crapol :)

I will remember Andy as a charismatic, talented guy with a penchant for remembering hilarious movie lines, and one of the most infectious laughs I've ever heard. The summer we spent covered in poison ivy doing an archaeological dig still makes me smile. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. You will be sorely missed, Andy.

I feel so blessed to have been able to call Andy my brother. I can't say that I remember life without his smile, short/much longer/much shorter hair and that laugh...that epic, evil laugh from deep in his soul. These, and the companionship he's offered me from such a young age...are the things I will always miss. Allison, Crapol family and of course, my real brother Shane...you all have my deepest thoughts and condolences. I look forward to celebrating his wonderful life with you in the days to come.

It was with deep regret that my family learned of the passing of Andy. My daughter played club soccer against him and my son played college soccer with him. I worked alongside his mother Jeanne for a number of years at Hampton University, and Ed and I share the same vocation. We will miss Andy and will think of him often. Our hearts and thoughts go out to the family.

Andy was remarkable in so many ways. Whether it was spending time together in high school, on breaks from college, jogging together on the morning of my wedding day, or exchanging emails while 1000 miles apart, he always brightened my days. I miss him dearly, but know that he is smiling upon us. I will see you for his memorial on the 28th.

We are so sad that such a beautiful person has left the world and our lives were certainly brighter and filled with more laughter for having known Andy.
