"Andrew was a real rogue at work at Apple! His tales of disco-era derrings-do had the young men he worked with awestruck with admiration and made the women grin. He was a skilled salesperson because he truly listened to his customers. I was only a co-worker, but during my own illness he'd call me every morning to sing me songs and tell me jokes. The other thing I knew about him was his love for his children and his determination that they live in a safe neighborhood and get a good start to life. I'm so glad that he was so loved. "
In loving memory of
Andrew L. Sager

Tributes
"I worked with Andrew at the Walter Reade Organization. For many years afterwards, if he happened to see me in a restaurant or on the street, he would come over, re-introduce himself, as if he needed to, and say hello. He was so gracious and warm. And, yes, so very good looking. I have wondered about his whereabouts over the years. Glad that I have this opportunity to write something in his memory. "
"So sorry to hear about Andrew. He was an old friend from many years ago. Condolences to the family. Mark Schulman"
