Wow, what a shock today. I happened to read some of the comments before the top level post and clicked this link. Andy was a grad student in the small lab (just a handful of people) I joined as a freshman in college. He was helpful, thoughtful, and kinder than he needed to be to a not very productive frosh.

We hadn't talked since he graduated, and I had no idea he'd passed. Thank you for sharing this.
