Uncle Andy had a special way with kids. I remember as a child that he always spoke as if he thought kids and adults were equals and that their concerns should be treated with the same degree of attention and respect. I loved how thoroughly he beamed when he laughed and how sincere his interest and feelings always felt. Truly a full-hearted man who made the world a more humane place, Uncle Andy will continue to enrich my life with the way he lived his own.
May gentleness for all accompany his passing.
