Dear Nicole and Rivera family, there is nothing that can express the incredible loss so many of us feel at learning Andres will no longer be here to brighten our minds, our hearts and our lives. The minute I met him decades ago, the spirit within him shared joy and oh the music. He was aware and in touch with music like few. Within days we were listening to the Spanish Harlem Orchestra (where I was born and raised) because he made us a tape. We didn't ask for it he just did it. I know he is taping right now so that when we all arrive, he can enlighten us as he did here. Bendiciones Andres and Blessings to you Nicole.
He was so special, we often think of him, he always had so much detail with us.. the random phone call accompanied with a package in the mail with a random detail he thought we would enjoy. Every so often something he shared with us, comes up in Victor and my conversations with each other. So insightful, we chuckle as we think of him, his kindness, his passion for culture was contagious. He was a real one, he will be missed. Happy to have shared time together, he was a good friend and a young soul. I’m sure he is looking down at us all jamming out in Warsaw heaven upstairs laughing it up at how late we all are to the party 💞 What a cool dude, we are honored to have made a friendship with him. Sending our love and prayers
I met Andres on several occasions and found him to be engaging and well versed on many subjects. He will be missed. SBP
Andres qualities of engagement, energy, appreciation, attentiveness and high taste in cultural exchange and intellectual analysis can never cease to exist. He won't be missed because he can't be forgotten. He still is, a one of a kind human spirit and high frequency intellectual stimulus, bubbling with love.
