I had a modest business relationship with him but did not know him well. Seemed 
like a good guy. Sorry to see him go.

With deepest sorrow, I regret to say that David Andrews, my friend of 23 years, 
has passed on, losing his battle with pancreatic cancer.  He was a prolific 
poster, and worked with Share HLASM in the 80's and 90's.  Our daughters grew 
up together; we  attended each other daughter's graduations and celebrated 
their many accomplishments; he madly danced at my wedding.  He was widely known 
in the NW Orlando area as "the guy on the Segway that makes me smile", with 
thousands of miles on both Segways, used to commute to work, and he was always 
willing to ride with a friend.  David had a ready wit that made the years a 
treat.   He was an outstanding mentor, boss, and friend.


Nothing would please him more that hoisting a shot of whiskey, with the toast:


"To absent friends and family".


He will be dearly missed.


David
