In Memory

I was deeply saddened to learn that Andy Hamer had passed away on April 30, 2001. Andy was a year ahead of me at Amherst, but I knew him well as a brother in the Phi Delt fraternity.

As I recall, Andy’s mother was English; this explained his accent, which, at least back then, was an attractive American/English blend.

Andy and I had different majors, but we would sometimes still sit and “chew the fat.” I was always deeply impressed by the breadth of Andy’s knowledge, and I remember him as a kind, thoughtful person. I felt that he would go far, and I wish that I had kept up with him.

However, the job, marriage and children filled my life, and it is only now while I recover from cancer that my mind has turned my brothers in Phi Delt.

Andy Hamer was a lovely guy, and I am sad that he passed so young. If there is someone in his family who could give me a brief summary of Andy’s life, I would be most grateful.
