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.
