I knew Andy from the business/legal world. We were lawyers and worked on many transactions together, sometimes representing adverse parties and other times working together. Andy even hired me as outside counsel a time or two, when he was in-house counsel. Aside from having great respect for Andy as a lawyer and businessman, I also considered him a friend. I was so sad, and shocked, to hear of his passing. He was a true gentleman, who ALWAYS spoke glowingly of his family. We knew him as a great "schmoozer," who could work a room and seldom forgot anyone's name.
I never knew anyone who knew him well or worked with him intimately to say bad things about him. God bless you Andy. You will be missed. And I hope his family finds some solace and comfort in knowing how many of us who knew Andy from the Legal/Business world, really, truly, genuinely liked him.

My sincerest condolences to the Hillman and extended family. I worked with Andy years ago at Cohen Shapiro in Philadelphia. He was a kind, dear man. Always had a smile for everyone. A good man taken too soon.
