Additionally, as part of his expertise at IBM, he authored and/or edited over 44 books, and created more than 20 teaching, training, sales videos which can be viewed on U-Tube.

My deepest sympathy goes out to all family members and friends upon learning of Andrew´s passing. I am very honored to have known Andrew for many years. I could never possibly have thanked him enough times for his help and generosity. He happily took on the hardest roles, always finding ways to solve or succeed. Truly one of the smartest, hardworking, and kindest people one could ever have on their team or by their side.

His positive spirit, sharp and humorous wit, together with a selfless passion for helping others is so rare and will be very dearly missed. May he live on in all our hearts and memories and through countless examples of his good deeds for others.

Andrew was such a good man. He was always there for me. We would talk for hours about anything and everything.he always talked with a smile ecen when he was in pain he always made me feel important. It breaks my heart to find out my friend is gone, at the same time I'm so happy he's not in pain anymore. He means so much to me. I wish I could have done more for him, and said more when I spoke to him last. I love you andrew I will always miss you.
