About

SO YOUNG

Beyond his literary success, everyone who knew Andrew seems to convey that he was, above all, a conscientious man who was always thinking of others. Friends and family say that he always was very concerned with the well-boing of those around him, sometimes even to a fault, and as a result, he was always thought of highly by everyone.

As a testament to the respect for this young man, many people who knew him were flying in from around the United States and even overseas to be with his family and to attend the memorial service next week. The British Broadcasting Company (BBC) even made an announcement on its world-wide newscast that Andrew had passed away, to mourn the loss of the prominent author.

For his immediate family, it was not the loss of Andrew, the world-wide author that hurt them but the passing of the young man behind the novels.

Sleep well Dear Andrew

Dear Britton Family,
Today was a very sad day for my wife and me and our condolences and heartfelt sorrow goes out to you all.
The story goes like this: I have read Andrew's two previous books, the American and the Assassin.
I had just finished reading The Invisible and I had already concocted a plot in my mind for the next book, so I went to the Web and Google. What I found was utter shock and denial. Oh My Lord, what a loss! We were both in love with Andrew as a new writer and looked forward to his future books. He was a fine human being and will missed by his family and his fans. We are 78 and 82 and feel as is we have lost a grandson.
Sleep well Andrew.
Gloria and Philip Stern
