My heart goes out to Andy's family and friends. The word "joyful" describes him well - as do the words "kind," "thougthful" and "sweet." My condolences for your terrible loss.

Dear Zwiebachs, Hubbels and all of Andy's family and friends,

I am so sad to hear about Andy's passing. Although I only met Andy a few times, I feel like I knew him well from the updates I often received through the family grapvine. Hopefully, heaven is a world full of perfect drives and hole in ones. My deepest sympathies,

With Andy's passing, the world has lost one of the kindest, gentlest, most special & caring souls that ever lived. You will be forever in my heart and memory, Andy. May you rest in peace and know that you are loved.
Love, Michelle

As a child I spent weeks in Livingston, NJ under the colorful tutelage of my slightly older cousin Andy. He taught me to play sports, play cards, play with firecrackers, and he once taught me a poem I recited in front of a bunch of adults, at the tender age of six: "there's a soldier in the grass with a bullet up his..." well, anyway; it ended with something about a girl scout, you get the idea. Not everything cousin Andy and the Zwieback kids taught me was "angelic," but I was a better athlete, writer, and now person for it. Andy carried a disarming sincerity, honesty, and sense of fairness into adulthood that struck me each time we spoke. I am so grateful for his unassuming positive influence in my life, and for growing up with people around me who make me proud for who I am and from where I came: cousins forever.

Andy was my cousin. A first cousin. A cosuin I grew up with, played with, talked with, stayed in touch with. Part of The Tribe. Andy was kind and funny, quirky and compassionate, caring and senisitive. His journey at times difficult but he had landed with both feet on the ground. He was loved. He was seen and known. He will be missed. There is a huge whole in the Zweibach-Skolnik-Goldberg Familiy.

You are wearing the socks I gave you, for eternity; your vase sits in full view of all that enter my house. My BFF since 1st grade. I'll always remember "what's under there", I will never forget. My brother of a different mother, love ya man.
