I have always been thankful for knowing Andreas, but our times together never seemed more precious than they do today.  A hole has been torn in our community, and in every life that Andreas touched.  He was a generous and patient mentor, and I will miss him always.  My most heartfelt condolences go out to Kathleen, who brought him so much joy.

The more I found out about him the more we interacted the more I grew to respect him and his talent.  I was lucky enough to get a chance to work with Andreas.  Andreas was a phenomenon.  The work that he created was beautiful.  His method precise, his solutions well thought out and he was able to create with unmatched dexterity and efficiency.  We became good friends.  I was also lucky enough to be meet Andreas in person for the first time at his wedding.  Andreas was a very happy man.  Kathleen was Andreas’ perfect match.
