Dear Margaret, Holly, Edward and Marshall,

Julie and I were very saddened to learn of Andy's death last week. We were out of town attending a family wedding and were unable to attend the funeral on Saturday.

Andy was not only a friend but also a mentor and a colleague in the truest sense. He had a brilliant mind, amd was a lawyer without peer. He also a uniquely funny sense of humor, to boot. He also loved Margaret and his children deeply.

We will alll miss Andy terribly.

Sincerest condolences,

Edward and Julie Poitevent

In addition to, and more importantly than, being a great securities lawyer, Andy was a class act. He always had a calm demeanor, a wonderful wit, a quick smile and sage comments. I once picked him up while he was waiting for the streetcar on a Saturday morning and he was reading (for the umpteenth time, no doubt) the Illiad or some Greek tragedy. He was the compleat Rennaissance man. A great mold is broken.

We would like to express our sympathy to the family. Our prayers are
with you all. Andy was a great guy and a pleasure to know. We are grateful that we could share family and grandchildren. He will be sadly missed.

I had the pleasure of working with Andy for many years when he represented the company for which I worked. He was so very smart, dedicated and with a great wit. He was a true gentleman in every sense and a bright star in my memories. My sincere condolences to his family; please take comfort in knowing how many lives Andy touched.
