Andy was my go-to legal colleague and friend. He was always willing to listen, chat, and give considered advice. I loved my access to him and his recommendations on which specialist to use for a given case. I am embarrassed at not having heard about his passing until 2 years after the fact and, then, only because a friend I referred to him said that, when she called his office, it sounded like he was no longer alive. My condolences. May his memory truly be a blessing. It is to me.

I met Andy when a mutual client needed support during divorce. He was fully supportive of the need for coaching for the client at a time many of his generation would not understand it. His ability to bring his compassion and humor to the situation will be with me forever and I can only hope for many more interactions like the ones I had with him with other members of the family law bar.

Andy was a dear friend, fraternity brother, and roommate. We spoke often and we could talk endlessly about things without having spoken to each other for months, I will miss this connection that only good friends can provide.

Andy, you have left us so many smiles and grateful tears! I was introduced to Andy by my late husband Ted when I joined him in attending Lions. Andy's finely-tuned humor was the hit of every meeting, while his compassion for others helped us focus on our goals. Later, when I joined Lions, and when Ted was frequently hospitalized for diabetes..., Andy always supported and encouraged us. May the warmth of his smile continue to be a blessing to all.

Andy, your warm smiles, happy countenance & joy could be felt by any who encountered you. I count myself blessed for having had the chance to share some laughs with you. Comfort to your family as your loss is and will be deeply felt by so many.

Ahh, that knowing smile and razor-sharp intelligence. His joy with clever quips and observations of humans. Was a real pleasure, good man. A real pleasure. Forever blessings to you and your family, Andy.

A brilliant, inspiring, kind and empathetic person, he made a difference in the lives of those he knew professionally and in the lives and families of his clients.

Andy was a mensch. He was knowledgeable in the law, civil, and a pleasure to work with. His quick humor is legendary. I have learned he never forgot a family member´s birthday and always sent (as least to adult relatives!) the funniest, grossest cards he could find. He is missed by all who of us who had the pleasure to know him.

I have known Andy since almost the time I began practicing. He was unfailingly professional, a worthy advocate, and always friendly. He possessed a refined sense of humor. I always enjoyed working with him. God rest him and comfort all who feel his loss.

Andy was, as Alan put it, one of the good ones. I always looked forward to seeing him.

As a fellow member of the Reston Lions Club, I've known Andy for 47 Years. His passing is such a shock :( He was a gentle, compassionate, and funny man. I last saw him only late last month, when we did a Lions road trash pickup together. Rest In Peace, dear friend.

Truly a good man and a fine lawyer. I always wanted to have the opportunity to know Andy better than I did. He will be missed.

Such a sad day learning that Andy is no longer with us! I always enjoyed his great sense of humor, ability to tell a great story, and time he was willing to give to others. I always enjoyed having him as an opposing counsel because I knew that we would get the case resolved and have fun in the process. He was a man who loved and cherished his family and always spoke so highly of them and how lucky he was to have them. He would often tell me he did not know what he did to get so lucky to have the family that he had. Truly sad that he is not with us anymore.

Andy is one of the "good one's". He treated everyone with respect and kindness whether as counsel, opponent or Commissioner in Chancery. He will be surely missed by those who walked with him; family, clients and colleagues. Goodbye my friend.

I never heard a cross word from Andy (although I may have always caught him on his many good days). He was a good lawyer and a fine gentleman.

I knew Andy for many years, as a friend and colleague. He truly was a " mensch". We had many family law cases together. I´m so sorry he is gone so soon. I will miss him.
