We truly lost an incredible man, teacher, coach and friend. Andy, you made everyone smile just by walking in the room. You had the most infectious smile and laugh, I can hear your voice now and boy do I miss you! I will forever miss you and our talks in my office.
I’m glad you’re not suffering anymore.

I never knew you died until months later, you were a great teacher for Senior Seminar when I was there in the Fall of 2014! I loved the way how the class ran smoothly with Chicago history and when you took the class and Mr. Cerasani’s to the architectural touring trip in Chicago. I will miss you and hopefully I’ll meet you again when my time is up. Prayers.
