What a loss to our community, to those his life has touched and those who never had the pleasure of meeting him.
I, my brother and father fortunately/unfortunately had the chance to share a dinner table for a few wonderful days on his beloved wild things. In that short period of time Andrew became a friend, though I don't feel that word does him justice.
Andrew had a way of making you wanna be a better person in his presence and life in general. He had a warmth and kindness about him that was unmatched by most and rivaled by fewer. He genuinely cared about YOUR Life and YOUR family and would swoon over pictures and storys of your children, would show true interest in your profession and share himself with you in any way he could.
I'm deeply sadden by the loss of his life. I was in hopes to share many more dinner tables with this wonderful man. I hoped he would meet my kids in the future and share himself with them.
I will charish my short time with him as I hope all of you that knew him will.
I hope his family knows just how many lives he
touched over his many years. I/we should thank them for sharing him with US.
Thank you Andrew you will be missed
