I worked with him at the tail end of his Columbia House stint. I just entered the workforce at the time. Nice guy in my opinion.

Andy--it was a delight to get to know you better, to have broken bread and raised an occasional glass together among good friends from old CBS, and to learn that my late young cousin Carl Zanger helped train you years ago. Good memories do indeed last. Ave atque vale, good friend!

Mary--I am very sorry to learn of Andy's passing. He was a colleague at the City Bar and I knew him all the way back to his Columbia House days when I was at CBS. He was always knowledgeable, interesting and fun to be around. He will be missed. Sincerest sympathies to you and your family. Best, Judy [email protected]
