My deepest condolences go out to all his family. Its been a long time since I've seen Andy, but we shared many of good times through middle school and high school. A good friend and a great spirit. He will truly be missed.

Andy and I were teammates growing up in baseball and for a second in football at Wilde Lake before he took up other options that were more academic in nature. A good guy and funny from the moments that I got a chance to be around him. He accomplished a lot from from what I could see from the outside. It's so sad to hear of his passing and I know that I will see him on the other side. R.I.P. Andy...we all will miss you.

Andy was one of the wittiest and friendliest people I ever met. I haven't seen him in a long time, but I'm so sorry he is not out there in the world anymore.

My heart goes out to Andy's family and friends during this difficult time. Andy was the president of our fraternity, Kappa Alpha Order, at the University of Maryland when I pledged into the fraternity. In fact, my pledge class was his first as president, so it was the first time he had to perform all of the rituals including initiation. I remember how, after initiation, he told me how nervous he was during the ceremony and asked me if it showed. I told him it didn't, and that he nailed it. I'm sure he thought I was patronizing him, but I wasn't, he was perfect. I also remember how great he was at being president, and how he was always there for his fraternity brothers. He was honestly one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Rest in peace Andy, a great friend, a great president, and a great man.

We were never "best" friends, but we grew up together and were certainly "good" friends. He was there for my 5th, 6th, 7th… birthday parties, as I was for his. We were great friends in elementary school. Then we went on to middle school, then high school, and always remained friends even though we 'rolled' with different crowds. We went down different paths, but when there was talk of a party, we'd wind up there and share in the teen recklessness. I regret that I lost touch, but it happens over the years. R.I.P. My Childhood Friend!!
