Andy was a very close friend and the best coworker that I’ve ever had. I recently did a personal reference for him and he was looking to work out here on the east coast. I’m crushed that I just found this out on HN through a friend. Andy was like a magnet. One of those people that you generally wanted to be around. In my eyes he was the perfect mixture of skill, hilarity, and crudeness. I tell stories almost every day of things we’ve done at work and out of work. We drank a lot of beer, did a lot of engineering, and pulled a lot of stunts. At the end of the day he proved to a lot of people you can engineer, sell, and be an insane rebel when it comes to the work environment. This is a life taken way too soon. I’ll miss you andy. -sean

Hi Sean, Thank you for these kind words. I'm Andy's youngest cousin, and I stumbled across this page while doing research for his memorial service this weekend. I was in my early teens when he moved to California, and I hadn't seen him for several years till this past Christmas. All you said and reading about all his accomplishments has shed some light on the person he was. Its nice to hear from one of his friends, and I will share it with the rest of the family. Thank you again. - Frances Gross
