My deepest sympathy for Andrew's and all his family and friends!

You will be missed Andrew! My prayers go out to your family who I know was your first passion in our many conversations. I pray for them to find peace during this time.

As e-mailed to nearly 300 Siemens IT personnel, worldwide, on July 19th: "I have known Andrew for 15 years—some of you, longer. Andrew’s spirit, curiosity and diligence epitomized our IT culture in systems engineering." Andrew's professional life was rich and impactful. To be more specific, Andrew was alertly supportive and kind to me in my first years with the company. Now, as his senior executive, I owe Andrew a debt of gratitude and, to his family, my deepest sympathy and prayers.

I have worked with Andrew for almost 10 years, we talked quite a bit on different work subjects, but we always ended up talking about our families. I was so impressed with how involved and passionate he was about the Boy Scouts. I will definately miss those conversations. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Andrew was a true professional. Many times I had to call upon him when timing was critical. He always rose to the call and helped me out. He truly cared, and it showed, whether it was pinging me on a topic of interest or by setting up a help site to help others. He always went the extra mile. He will be sincerely missed. Andrew you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers....

Thomas and James, I live in India. I want to tell you that it was great working with your dad. Whenever I got stuck in my work your dad would promptly fix things for me and get me going. Sometimes it felt as if he was working round the clock. He will be deeply missed by all of us.

I had the opportunity to work closely with Andrew over the last 3 years here at Siemens. I know family activities (such as watching the annual NCAA basketball tournament and visiting civil war historic sites) played a central role in his life. It was great interacting with Andrew because he always had such a positive "can-do" attitude in spite of the challenges being faced. My deepest sympathies to the entire Sisson family.
