Connected through Theatre, Friends by choice.

In High School we did Pippin together, among several other shows, and each time he saw me somewhere (had I not seen him first) he would start to sing Love Song from that show. Once, in NYC I was standing on a street corner talking to friends and from a distance I heard this voice… I turned and there was Andy with a huge smile and warm hug. He gave great hugs. We will forever be connected by that show, by our love of theatre. But we were always friends by choice. He is a shiny person, brighter than almost all others. He will always be loved.

My deepest condolences to the entire Neiman family. May Andy’s memory be a blessing.
