I knew Andy from high school but became better acquainted with him over 30 years ago when he moved into my neighborhood. I would see him periodically and we always had a good conversation. RIP

Folks that worked closely with Andy would know him as "Johnny" or "G". He was a great friend, an expert in his field, and a guy you wanted close by when the clouds rolled over in the Operating Center. Although he´s been retired a few years, he is not forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones.
