Andy became a good friend to me and my young family when he joined IBM in '83. He had a special bond with my son Chris and taught him how to tie his shoes. I knew then Andy would be a great dad. Andy played 2nd base on the softball team we called the Green Machine. Soon we were neighbours and got the most of an IBM PCjr. I will never forget my friend.

So sad to hear of Andy's passing. We grew up going to the same church, attending Sunday school and singing on the junior choir.
At our 30th class reunion in 2009, we learned that we celebrate the same wedding anniversary,(same year) and we both went through the RCIA at St. Joseph's in Orefield.
Andy was a great guy and will me missed by many. My deepest condolences to Joanne and the family.
