Andrew masterfully cut and styled my and my children's hair for more than 35 years- first at Elizabeth Arden, and then other salons on Newbury St., until he retired.  For raw talent, intelligence, and ability-{verbal, analytical), he was prodigious. But he was also funny, a clown, a great story-teller.  I will always remember doing the Cryptoquote and the Jumble with his help  

while under the dryer.  At that, he was unbeatable, a genius.  Rest in peace, Tapiza( the name children called him while stationed in China in the Army).  He said it means "big nose".
