Andy Morton, November 27, 1963 - July 17, 1998

Putting this memorial web page together has been very enlightening and therapeutic for me. When I met Andy, he struck me as the type of member that makes the Concours Owners Group special. Andy was a warm, caring, thoughtful, trustworthy person. I was impressed by his intelligence and passion for life. I found out much more about Andy after his death, and in doing so, I will miss him that much more. I would like to share with you some of the many stories and testimonials about Andy that paint of picture of a very nice, friendly person. This started out as a memorial article for inclusion in COG's magazine, the Concourier.  However, there is more material than would fit in a magazine article, and unfortunately I am not the kind of writer that can in a few short paragraphs paint a picture of Andy, or convey the sense of loss his friends are experiencing. In order that you might gain more insight into Andy's life, and gain a greater appreciation for his contributions, I have compiled many of stories I've read about Andy and present them to you here.

As is life on the 'Net, the one constant is change.  One of the things which often changes is people's email addresses, and unlike the US Post Office, there is almost never a forwarding timeframe.  As such, some of the email addresses listed may no longer be valid.  See the bottom each linked page above for possible email address updates.

If you have additional material which you feel would help improve this memorial to Andy, please let me know.
