Andrew Hyam Joel (1958-2005)

A toast to the memory of my son Andrew, who died suddenly five years ago today. Andrew was bright and kind and aware. He loved red wine and laughter, he loved living with courage and daring. Most important to him were his wife and family and those from the past he loved, for I think Andrew was basically a lover. In Hebrew his middle name Hyam (from my father) means life, as in the traditional toast L’Chaim!...To Life!
