I had the wonderful opportunity to get to know Andrew the last couple of months of his life. Him and I shared a brief, but close and meaningful relationship that I’ll forever cherish. He was truly the most loving, selfless, free-spirited person I ever met. I wish to share my condolences with his mom and siblings, and hope they find everlasting hope and joy, for I’m sure that’s what he would’ve wanted. Sharing in your sorrow. With love and friendship.
Andy was my first “puppy love” in middle school and a close friend for many years. He was funny, kind, caring, and his smile was infectious. We hadn’t talked in quite a while until he reached out to me only a few weeks ago to reconnect. I had covid at the time and he checked in on me every day for the two weeks i was in quarantine to make sure I was doing okay because that’s just the kind of person he was. He will always have a special place in my heart.
Cathy and Jennifer,
How can I understand your deep sorrow!
I sincerely express my sorrow to Andy.
I wish Andy a peaceful rest and eternal life.

Hi Jenn,
It’s me, EthL! The pain of hearing about Andy is still so great that I must write this through tears. Andy was such a sweet person that I always enjoyed his energies when he was around. He was always authentic, so sincere, honest and open. The wisdom he expressed to me was beyond his years.. I considered him such a levelheaded young man. One memory that I would like to share with you is the day of his great grandfather, Bob’s funeral. In spite of his own suffering and grief he thanked me for speaking at Bob’s funeral. In his own words said, “ I know you did it for your own personal feelings about Pop but it is always nice to hear someone else outside of the family share their perspective of who he was and how they saw him.”
It is my personal belief and insight that a person cannot leave this earth from the physical body until they have finished their personal, spiritual mission. Andy was focused and apparently finished his mission in this lifetime at the early age of 24, which to me reflects his brilliance. He came here with the gifts and talents God gave him, shared them with all of us to raise the quality of our lives, learned the lessons that he needed during the time he visited this earth and was given permission to leave. He left a piece of himself with each of us that knew him.
Regarding you and the rest of the family including the extending family:
May the Blessings BE,
EthL Bolton
Dear Jennifer,
I have 2 sweet stories to share about Andy. The 1st was many years ago when he came on a business trip with your mom to Winchester, UK. There was not much to do in Winchester, so not the most exciting venue, but he made the most of it. He met several of us one day for afternoon tea, and he loved the finger sandwiches and scones...I believe several ended up in his pockets to be enjoyed after he left us. Of course, we all thought he was delightful. The 2nd more recent memory was when you and Andy joined me and Adam and your mom and Tom for dinner in NYC. Remember being VERY late because you got on the subway in the wrong direction and ended up in Brooklyn and then you had to come all the way back to uptown Manhattan? We were almost on dessert by the time you arrived. You were very unhappy and in need of an adult beverage but Andy took it all in stride. We got him food and he and Adam spent most of the evening discussing music and music festivals.
He had a way of making you smile!
Adam and I are sending you all our love and offer whatever support you need.
Lisa and Adam
