I know there are no words that can ease your pain. Sending healing prayers and comfort during this tough time.
Andy was my boss for a number of years and always had my back, allowed me to push back, and always drew those silly faces on the whiteboards.
His knowledge and practical nature made him so successful. He was also willing to share everything he knew with anyone.
I will miss him greatly.

I had the pleasure of working with Andy for many years during his time as a process engineer in liquid products at Rodel/Dupont. He was one of the best!

Dear Andy’s family,
It is with great sadness that my wife and I received Andy’s passing news. Be insured we will be with you in thoughts and prayers. Andy was a great colleague to both of us since 20+ years and we could not acknowledge enough his contributions to our business unit during this time. He was so passionate, caring and gained such a respect for his expertise that his missing will be felt by a lot, and for very long. Rest in peace, Andy, and see you there.
