To David, your sisters and Sharon,
Michael I are very saddened by your loss.
We always enjoyed being with you and your dad at David's Annual Birthday Party, as well as the many times we chatted with him when we dropped off our boys at their get-togethers. May God surround you and your family with His love and peace.

I knew Andy through the UC Alumni book clubs. We will remember Andy for his many contributions to both the Hyde Park and West Sububan clubs. He was well read and considered carefully any opinions he offered to the group, and appreciated the participation of every other member. Andy was present at the September 22 meeting of the Hyde Park group and joined in a lively discussion of A River Runs Through It by Norman Maclean, a former UC professor of English.

So very sorry for your loss. I was privileged to enjoy Andy's company as a fellow member of our alumni book club. His fine mind and contributions to our discussions always made our meetings more meaningful. I am sorry that illness will prevent me from attending his funeral and will be praying for him and his family.
