So sorry to just be realizing that Dr. Andrus had passed away a few years ago. He was my surgeon twice and I could not have asked for a more compassionate, clear headed, straight forward doctor. He definitely lives on in all of the patients he helped. What an amazing man.

After reading the Memorial posting about Carl, I am amazed at all he accomplished in his life, yet he was such a humble man. Without a doubt, Rochester was fortunate to have you as are those of us who knew you.

I was his patient, and appreciated him so much, beginning in 1999. Later, I'd often see him at the end of an afternoon, perfectly dressed, doing some grocery shopping at Wegmans. The final time, when he had lost weight and walked with a cane, I realized he was now the patient. Forward we all go. I was, have been, and AM lucky to have known him.

Dr. Andrus was my mother's surgeon in '95 when she had breast cancer. She has been cancer free since. I recall her speaking very highly of him at that time. At work, our paths had crossed a few times and I too found him to be a kind and gentle man. He will be missed. My sincere condolences to his family.

Dr. Andrés was my mother's surgeon for breast cancer in 1989. His surgical skills saved my mother's life. His gentle and caring demeanor was so helpful to her throughout her illness. My mother is now 88 years old and has been cancer free for 28 years. My heartfelt condolences to the family.

I will always remember Dr. Andrus for his kindness and compassion towards patients and colleagues alike. As a nurse at SMH for 25 years, he certainly made an impact early on in my carreer, and I am sure for others, many years to follow. Many blessings to your family.

As a neophyte nurse in the Emergency Department at Strong, Carl was called for a consult on a patient who had hypothermia. While examining the patient, Carl taught me about hypothermia and the treatment. Our paths crossed many times over many years. Some years later, he took care of my mother who had breast cancer, and needless to say, I was glad she selected Carl as her surgeon because he was always calm and steady as he went. He was a great man, and I am saddened that the world has lost him. Condolences go to his family.

Carl was a a kind and generous man. He was a great father to two fantastic friends. His heart was completely pure. There was only good in him. It makes me so sad to think he is not here. With love, Jake
