I knew Andy in High School and his early years at Cornell. He was always a super human being and the world is a lesser place without him. Even though it has been 40 years, I remember him fondly and am saddened to learn so late of his passing.

I just learned of Andrew's passing from my wife's Cornell Law School Alumni Magazine. I met Andrew when I joined the Sullivan & Cromwell Tax Department in March 1986. He was a wonderful colleague, and someone I would often go to for help and advice. I was sorry when he left S&C in 1988. I am very saddened by his loss, but I have a lot of good memories of our time together.

Andy and I were friends growing up in Poughkeepsie. We spent many afternoons playing in his yard and the woods behind his home. Those are wonderful memories. Condolences to Ron, his family and friends from the Olewnick family.

I am so sorry to hear of Andy's passing. I enjoyed working with him and will always remember his sense of humor. We laughed even when the work was hard and the hours long. I am sure he will be sorely missed by Ron, his family, friends and colleagues.
