You touched so many lives while you were with us. I just found out and am so saddened. My heart goes out to your family, but most of all your wife. You will be missed, and were such a warm and caring spirit. Your smile will live on in my memories always.

Season,

I was a colleague of Andrew's at VK. I don't know if I met you when you worked there. I was stunned by this terrible news that such a positive, bright guy as Andrew is now gone. I wanted to let you know that I was widowed at the age of 28, losing my wife in a plane crash. I just want you to know, in time, though almost impossible to fathom now, things will get better for you. And a future, when ready, will be there too.

Andrew "Kiwi" ,

I will miss your infectious smile and contagious laugh....... not to mention that accent. You were honest, forthwrite, generous with your compliments and most of all kind. Thank you for your friendship. I will never forget you.

Season: Although I never had the pleasure of meeting you, Andrew spoke so highly of you. He loves you very much. I am so sorry for your incredible loss.

The minute I meet Andrew we instantly became friends. From there we had some really great times. If we were friends for a 100 years it would have not been enough time to enjoy his company and friendship. He will remain as one of the most incredible friends I could ever have.

Season:
I never met Andrew in person, we spoke on the phone quite often when he worked at Van Kampen. Our conversations were not always just about business. I wanted to let you know that when he spoke of you, it was with glowing love and affection.
My heart will go out to you and your family forever with love. My prayer is that you can overcome this tragic accident and in time be at peace and happiness.
