Andrew Lock Obituary

Karen,
I had the chance to meet Andy several times as my boyfriend Dave Iem had worked with him in the past. He had the warmest smile and a zest for life! We were shocked and still saddened with the news. Dave and I are so sorry for your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I just heard the news of Andy's untimely death. Shocked is not a big enough word. I met Andy back in the early 80s when he worked at Cablevision with Greg and Pam. I've watched his career from that point forward with great pleasure, knowing first hand how much he loved the TV production business. Seeing him at the ballpark with his great big smile and always taking time from his work to say hello and reminisce over our old times together will be sorely missed. Thanks, Andy. You were one of the truly greatest guys I've ever known.

To Andy's family we offer our deepest condolences. My four children befriended Andy at US Cellular - just from seeing him around at the games - they adored him. When we went to SoxFest this January, he was there and I think they were more excited about getting their photo taken with Andy than with any of the players! He helped to get my littlest one picked to do the home run promotion and he always put my kids up on the jumbo-tron. He made coming to the park fun and exciting - he always had a smile on his face and a kind word - he was always so nice about explaining his work and how his camera worked, etc. He set such a great example for the kids - so hard working, but so kind. We went to the Cell last Sunday for my kids to do the Junior Pride Crew and their first question was "Where's Andy?" When we found out he had passed away on Wednesday, we couldn't believe it - he had seen 2 of my kids on Tuesday night at the game and had put them up on the Jumbo-tron. The Pride Crew members gave my kids the special yellow AndyCam ribbons they had made to honor Andy and my kids wore them all day and still wear them. They will never forget his kindness, enthusiasm, patience, and love of life. We know he did many great things in life, but we wanted you to know that he also did many small things, that meant a lot, too. He touched our lives and we will always feel his presence with us at the Sox games. When I find the photo I have of my kids with Andy at Sox Fest, I will send it to the Sox to forward to you - I think you would enjoy seeing it. We all loved Andy and will never forget him. We extend our deepest sympathies to you.

I was truly saddend to hear about Andy's passing. He was a great guy with a big heart. Andy knew how to bring a smile to one's face. LIfe at the UC and the Cell will be different without him, but everytime someone's picture shows up on the big board, we'll know AndyCam had something to do with it. He will truly be missed.

To Andy's family: We were deeply saddened to hear of Andy's passing. We saw Andy at the Cell every game. It seemed like he always had a smile on his face and a good word for everyone. He was a wonderful person and will be sorely missed. I didn't realize that we had a Kankakee connection, as I also grew up there. Over the years he has made many people happy with their picture being on the Jumbotron, ourselves included. He's gone from the earth, but not from our hearts. Rest in peace.

Oh my, my heart is so heavy right now. Andy Cam was one the honest to God good guys I will ever have had met. His exuberance for life was just so profound. I remember meeting him at the Redwood lounge in Bridgeport and we began to talk about everything and anything. Somehow we got on the subject of the WS and Birthdays (sans him being Andy Cam) and I mention I was a STH and that I’ll be at the game with a whole group of my friends celebrating my B-Day the following month. He then said “I’ll be at that game too” and that is when I told him to come by (there’s always a seat or two around us) and come have a beer or two. Well needless to say, he did show up WITH a Camera on his shoulder and another gentleman with him. It took me about a minute to figure out what was going on. At one point, I thought I won the Publisher Sweepstakes. He had made my 35th Birthday so special two years ago by surprising me by putting me on the jumbo-tron throughout the entire game and making me the most popular in the section I was sitting. I had so many birthday beers coming my way from the crowd, I had to give them away to my friends. Then we carried the celebration on at the wood. I couldn’t believe he remember me and did that for me. The kicker was when I thanked him, he just said “ no, Thank You!” that is a birthday that I will never forget. Life is so short, and I wish we would have stayed in contact after the baseball season. You will be missed and “no, THANK YOU ANDYCAM!!!!!

with deepest sympathies, we will miss him, our thoughts and prayers are with Karen and her family during these trying times.

I was very saddened to hear of Andy's passing. I have had the great pleasure of working with Andy on corporate events and spent many times with Andy seeking his advice on corporate projects. He was a wonderful person to work with and his guidance and camaraderie will be greatly missed. My condolences to Andy's extended family including his family at the "Cell" and "Stadium".

My deepest heartfelt sympathies to you and your family. I had the honor of working for Andy for my summer college internship (1998). I'm truly thankful for the opportunity he gave me. Most of all, I'm grateful that I had the chance to work with such a great mentor. He will truly be missed.

We knew Andy as a big lovable teddy bear. Always willing to support his professional friends and collegues. We had the privilege of having Andy film our wedding in 2001 (4 days after 9/11) and we watch that video every year. Pat and I wish to extend all our blessings to family and friends. Everytime we went to any sporting event we would always look for AndyCam.

Karen and Family,
I have known Andy for 8 years since I started working security at the United Center and Comiskey Park. Andy was one of the happiest guys I knew. He loved what he was doing and was always smiling. He made coming to work a little more fun. He will truly be missed by all who knew him. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

I have known Andy for many years after working at Sox and UC. I was devastated when I heared the news. What a wonderful person, always happy, always a nice thing to say. Never a bad day in his life, at least not that he showed. My prayers to all of his family and may my friend rest in peace.

Andy, Andy, Andy.......God, I sure am going to miss your smile, your love of life, your effervesant personality......You are smiling at us and we are smiling back.

So terribly sorry to hear about Andy's passing. We had the privilege of working with him at Comiskey in the early 90s. Our sincerest condolences to all of Andy's family and friends. A beautiful soul is never forgotten.

Karen and family
I cannot express how sorry we were to hear of your loss, I wish we could have knew Andy better, we miss you at work and you'll be in allour prayers.

Love,
CArl and Jamie Bata

I feel that I lost a real friend, as a security supervisor for the Sox and Bulls I spent a lot of time around Andy. Always a big smile and love for the work he did. Little did I know of all his other acomplishments in his hometown. My prayers are with you and your family.

Karen and all the family,
We have known Andy for the last 12 years from the Cell (actually from the Redwood.) We were shocked to hear of his passing. Going to work will never be the same. Please know that our prayers and thoughts are with you. He was loved like no other.
