I'm so sorry to hear of Andy's passing. He was a prolific political theorist (as someone else has already mentioned) even back in high school; I can only imagine his musings since then. Truly a unique mind! My thoughts go out to his family and friends.

RIP Andy

I met Andy through the local music scene in 1980's. His personality was vibrant and his spirit was fiery. We reconnected in the late 90's when he worked for Dominos and was our delivery man for my store in Eastown. His energy was something else. He will be missed and was well liked in Eastown and in the local music scene. My heart goes out to Andy's Family and close friends. R.IP. Andy. We had some great conversations on Facebook recently about politics. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about current affairs.

Andy was my great friend and colleague from Crooksandliars.com. He had an encyclopedic mind for political theory and kept all of us challenged.

I will miss him so very much. My condolences to his whole family.

Terry, Mollie, and spouses, also Amy and all of Andy's kin:
I am grieved to hear of Andy's passing. We had some wonderful (and sometimes fiery) discussions on Facebook. Imagine my surprise back in the 90's, when Andy showed up with a pizza delivery I had ordered! I was so pleased to see him once more.
Great times on Colorado St. and Andy was my son Joe's idol of coolness. God bless and keep all of you in His loving care. I rest in the knowledge that Andy is now truly healed and having rousing conversations with his Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus!
Praying for you all, Nola (Botwinski) Norton
