On the morning of May 22, we lost a keystone figure of our community. Andrew Pejack inspired us to pursue creativity, to respect and support everyone around us, and to treat life like an adventure.
His immeasurable kindness and imagination seemed effortless. His artistic talents were boundless. He could appear at any moment on a penny-farthing bicycle, sit down at a piano and play Beethoven or Ray Charles tunes, share some of his pre-Castro Cuban rum or banana liqueur, and give expert advice on how to fix anything (including relationships) while putting a smile on everyone’s face.
It’s impossible to sum up Andrew Pejack in a few paragraphs. It pains me deeply to write that he was a living legend. He is forever in our thoughts.
