I cannot say I knew him well, but we talked on the phone just a few months ago. What a sad day. God bless those touched by him. RIP Andre.

This is horribly sad news.

Spoke with him a couple month back trying to help him get his RoW 78 imported into the US.

This is so sad. I ran into him only a couple of weeks ago at Dan the Pod Guy's house. I did not know him well, but I liked and respected him. RIP.

Will some of you more local 928 owners be able to attend the memorial service. A 928 contingent would be very fitting for Andre.

I feel sick, haven't been able to figure out what to post since I saw the thread pop up.

Always a pleasure to talk to online.

I remember when he sent in his money for the Holbert / Kibort engine fund, I joked with him about having the decimal point a spot over.....he just made a comment like: "It's only money, I'll make more!!!" Then a while late he sent in more, said he had a good week.......

RIP Andre. Say hi to JP from the GLOC group, ok?
