Oh my gosh. He sounds like a stellar human. What a terrible loss for the whole family, and his friends. This is a beautiful essay, and I loved the links to other stories about him. And that photo of him here: That's the face of someone anyone would want to know. I know his memory will be a blessing. Thank you for sharing it.

What an amazing, gifted and talented, and loving individual! I am so sorry for your loss. But what an honor and privilege to have shared so many experiences, family ties, and a loving relationship with him and he with you and your family. What a special spirit and energy -- which indeed will live on in you and Andy.. and your children.. and all who had the fortunate opportunity to love and be loved by him.
