Andreas Hauer

67, died suddenly on December 24, 2013 at his home in New York City.


Born in Norway, "Andy" was the son of Karl and Ellen Hauer and grew up in the San Francisco Bay area.  He served in the Navy during the Vietnam War on the hospital ship USS Repose.


Andy was well known for his expertise in the compensation and benefits field.  Most recently, he served as a Director with RenaissanceRe in Bermuda.


Andy was an immaculate dresser, avid golfer, and was known for his quick wit, dry sense of humor, love of great wines and the best restaurants.


Survivors include his wife of 26 years, Kitty Haines of New York City, two sisters Eva (George) Hewes of Pebble Beach, CA, Liz (John Johnson) Hauer of San Francisco, CA, two nieces Christina Hewes of Pleasanton, CA, Erica (Jesse) Weber of Burlingame, CA and two grand nieces.


A celebration of Andy's life will be held in January in NYC, on a date TBD.  In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your favorite charity and toast his life with a glass of fine wine.

Kitty,
Hearing of Andy's loss was a sad day! However, it brought back memories of a friend with whom I shared a great time and place in our lives: The 60s, Linfield College, Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity, parties, and old friends with whom I want to keep in touch. Sorry we didn't have the opportunity to meet.
My best wishes!

Kitty, I am so sorry for your loss. Although we've never met, please know l will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. To think you had barely settled in to retirement and had so much living yet to do is so sad. I will indeed toast his life, and remember the good times! Jan Hendrickson Petersen.
