My wife Karen and often have thought fondly of Andy since he and I retired from Battelle. We were together with him in Ron Clark’s dance classes there, and we marveled at how quickly he became really skilled at ballroom dancing. He said that he hoped someday to work as a dance instructor on one of the big cruise ships. We sincerely hope he realized that ambition.
It was with great sadness that we read of his passing. From the comments already on this guest book it is clear that he had many good friends. We extend our sympathy to his family and friends.

Our deepest sympathy to Andrew's Sons, Daughter-in -Law's, and Grandchildren. He was so proud of his family and talked of you often. He had a glimmer in his eye when speaking of his Grandchildren and loved the recitals he would go to.
We would meet Andrew and Lucille out dancing every weekend, Holidays, and NYE. Our sympathy to Lucille Farmer, a very close and long time friend. I can remember the first time seeing Lucille and Andrew-Andrew always looked so dashing and debonair and Lucille so eloquent. He was always in a Tux.
We loved Andrew and had so much fun with him. He was very athletic and running his 20 miles of the morning and breakfast at Bob Evans. He was always so respectful and a true Gentleman. We have missed him the last few years but will always remember our times together.
