\"20141027_211842\"<\/a>Andy Schaeffer passed away today.<\/p>\n

I worked with Andy for eleven years during my stint in Broadcast Television. \u00a0Andy was a breath of fresh air in an all too often sad business. \u00a0His wit and humor were as unique as the seemingly endless supply of Hawaiian shirts he had in his closet.<\/p>\n

Andy Schaeffer lived life on his own terms. \u00a0His unique perspective on life showed through his lens as a photographer, ever the consummate professional, and in his witty repartee and often sarcastic view of things. \u00a0He loved his work, his life, his family and his coffee and not in that order.<\/p>\n

He was a generous human being in a crowd of those who more often than not were not so. \u00a0We saw each other rarely after my departure from television, but we kept in touch online. \u00a0His signature\u00a0style of greeting when our paths did cross felt as familiar as they had on my last day at the station.<\/p>\n

He brought a lighthearted view of things from his brightly colored shirts to his warm smile and sparking eyes wherever he went.<\/p>\n

As the sun sets it’s a little dimmer today. \u00a0Simply put, Andy was one of the good guys. Thank you Andy for being \u00a0you. \u00a0I, among many, will miss you.<\/p>\n

If you believe in prayer or positive vibrations or simply compassion for the loss of a genuinely kind human being, please send comforting thoughts to his family. They will surely miss him most of all.<\/p>\n\n

\"\"Andrea Susan Valentine Gelfuso Goetz<\/strong>\u00a0is the author of \u201cMy Modena \u2013 A Year of Fear, Laughter and Exhilaration in Italy<\/em>\u201c.<\/p>\n

After her husband was given a job for a year in Italy, Andrea and the rest of their family joined him on the adventure; and what an adventure it was.<\/p>\n

Often trying to do the simplest of things, her story captures the hilarity of an American in Italy trying to navigate a country that seems as foreign as should be familiar. She spent a year in Italy in an apartment that was like camping, with tile, in a town full of ancient churches, like God\u2019s attic.\u00a0 Come meet Melanie, a fashionista who can make ATMs bend to her will from a hundred miles away. Her landlady Giovanna, who taught her to make risotto as golden as her smile, and her husband, Raimondo, who stood by serenely as six firefighters tried to get Andrea and her family back into their 7th floor apartment \u2013 using a ladder truck.\u00a0 Meet Piero, the artist who told her Modena\u2019s most beautiful secrets, and Luca, who sold her boots so fabulous she re-soled them three times. Meet Danilo, Fabio, and Marcello, heart-stoppingly gorgeous Italians. And a mime who knew a lot more than he was saying.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
