Dear Sue,Liz, and Christine,
I will always remember how kind Andy was to Kira when he was her soccer coach. His sweetness and generosity will be truly missed. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Andy Bernat was my direct supervisor for eight years. We had a collegial relationship that was often disputatious (we agreed on a lot, disagreed on more), but never boring. He was a crisp writer when it came to summarizing what he wanted done. He stuck to his theories, ideas, and ideals, which were all about understanding the regional economies better. I learned a great deal from him, and I will miss him.

Andy was an esteemed colleague and friend. He was valued as a mentor by everyone who had the pleasure of working with him, and was admired and respected for his intelligence and knowledge. He will be deeply missed.
