I grew up with Andy in Amherst. We were in the same grade in middle and high school, graduating together in 1991. I always considered Andy a friend and hung out with him in and after high school until
He moved out west. I last saw him at our 20 year high school reunion in 2011. The thing I always remember about him is just how positive he always was. Fun, funny and what seemed to be eternally optimistic. Just the greatest guy to be around. 

I had heard he was ill a few weeks ago and I want to send my heart felt condolences to his family for your loss. I know the stars shine brighter with him and all my love to you, his family. 

Andy and I rode our bikes from Alamo Square to Ocean Beach in San Francisco almost every Sunday for a stretch of around four years or more. With a transistor radio strapped to his bike, the two of us would cruise through Golden Gate Park listening to jazz, classic rock, and sometimes the Giants game. When we got out to the beach we would find a nice spot to sit and watch the waves, have a snack, talk, laugh, listen to the wind, and just be. I loved seeing the world through his eyes. Andrew was a loyal friend, a truly beautiful person, with a kindness and warmth that is rare. He is the only person who called me Danno. When we talked on the phone he would always try to order a pizza from me, classic Andy: “Yeah can I get a cheese and pepperoni delivered”. He was a generous friend. My condolences to his Mother, Father, Brother Russ, and the many aunts, uncles and cousins who I often heard about and who he held in high regard. And, to Kui, who he loved with the whole of his soul. 

With Love,
Dan Korn

So sorry for your loss,prayed a great deal for him,his family specially his Dad.

So sorry to hear about Andrew, your son, husband, brother, nephew and cousin.  May you all support each other at this time and may your sorrow mellow and may your strong loving memories prevail and provide strength for all of you. 

Sending condolences to all of Andy’s family and loved ones. I’m so sad to hear of his passing. I knew Andy from my earlier San Francisco years and remember his humor and positive energy. He was the easiest person to talk to and uplifted the people around him. Rest In Peace Andy. I’m grateful for the memories.

Rest In Peace Andy. Being a new student at Heim Middle School, you never looked at the clothes I wore, the food I ate, the classes I took - you were genuine, always smiling and making strangers feel like you’ve known them your whole life.  One of a kind, broke the mold - those cliches were made for you. Although I moved (again) I’ll never forget your kindness, acceptance without judgment, and fun-seeker that always, always was there for his friends. I miss him and only wish that he knew. 

I am so very sorry to hear of your families loss. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Just as Julie mentioned I’m not sure I have a childhood memory that didn’t include Andy! See I met Andy in first grade. His smile at 7 filled a room and seeing that his light never dimmed is so beautiful! He was my 5th grade boyfriend and although we grew apart in high school we still found times at Parties, Homecomings and school events where we laughed and enjoyed our friendship! I’m sad that we lost touch and I didn’t get to experience the later years for Andy’s milestones, but his light and smile will forever be a part of my heart! I know all of us at WNHS or Heim will miss his kind soul! My sincere condolences to his family and friends as I’m certain a tremendous light has left and that leaves a hole! I pray that your memories help heal your hearts eventually. With love and prayers, Nicole Schneider

I think I have known Andy almost my entire life. Between camp, Hebrew school, Sunday school, middle school, confirmation, etc. Andy has always been a part of it. How patient he was to deal with me, Hallie Joffe, and Julie fine for all those years after our bar mitzvahs until confirmation, every Monday night. Reading all these memories reaffirms what a great person he was and how much he impacted everyone’s lives. . I don’t have a single negative memory of him, he was just an all-around great guy and human being. The last time I saw him, maybe 20 years ago, he’d come out to Arizona for some thing and called me and we had dinner. This was before Facebook and such so it took some effort to find me, but it was a great dinner. His passing is a loss for everyone but most especially his family

I am so sorry to learn of Andy’s passing. Even though we hadn’t connected for many, many years, the memories haven’t faded.  He was such a kind human being with a cheerful character. My heart goes out to his family, his friends, and to the WNHS community.  Many hugs and prayers.

Andy's magnanimous qualities helped him create lasting memories with just about anyone. He had the unique ability to make all of his friends feel like they were his best friend. I will forever treasure the time we enjoyed together. Some of my fondest memories are of time spent in his Golden Gate apartment, enjoying his homemade pasta sauce, digging on some new tunes, or just hanging out. You see, Andy could elevate any moment, and you always knew that if you were doing something with Andy, that you'd be doing something right. 

Andy opened the book for me when it came to what San Francisco had to offer. He didn't hesitate to share his favorite spots, his treasured haunts, or any of his vast knowledge of the city. Andy welcomed my friends as his friends, and he was always so kind, showcasing an unforgettable smile and infectious laugh that I hear every time I think of him. 

All my love to the Dale's, to Kieu, and to those who are missing our beloved Andy. 

We are so very sorry to hear this news. Andy was part of our San Francisco crew back in the day. His energy and laughter and positivity was infectious. We think fondly on our memories with him listening to music, camping, cruising the Bay Area, and having an overall great time. Andy was a wonderful man and he will be sorely missed. Our condolences to his family. Sending love and light from Ghana. ❤️

Andy was the most positive person I’ve ever known. His smile lit up a room and his energy was non stop. An all around great guy with compassion for all.
Kieu and Russ.....so sorry....

I am so very sorry for your loss.  Andy was loved by all who knew him.  I have so many fond memories of him from middle and high school.  May he rest  in eternal peace and may loving memories bring your family comfort and strength during this time. 🙏🏻
