I taught with Andy Koors at Batesville High School in the mid 80s. He used to come in the teacher's lounge and give a neck massage to whomever was sitting there, and he taught me a couple of things about the German languate. I left Batesville and moved back to Virginia in 1986.
It is with great sadness that I heard of the passing of Andy. He is the iconic figure of the Freudenfest, epitomizing what it represents: a fun-loving person proud of his German heritage. In my humble opinion, he was the face of the Freudenfest. I proudly would point to Andy's picture in his German attire (he always looked a lot better in his lederhosen than me) and tell people that he was the real deal when it came to the Freudenfest. He was also my high school classmate and a friend that I got to know better thanks to being on the Freudenfest committee. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family. There was only one Andy and I know he will be missed by many. The Freudenfest will not be the same without Andy but he would want us to press on and continue to keep it a "festival of fun". May you rest in peace Herr Koors!
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the Andy Koors family. Such a wonderful person who influenced so many young people in the area. Godspeed Andy.
Tress, We are so sorry. Truly enjoyed being with Andy on his last trip abroad. Amy and Bob Buckley
Always personable and cheerful, and will remain one of my favorite teachers. Some of my best memories of High School are from my German classes. Your spirit will continue on through all of us whose lives you have touched.
Aufwiedersehen, Herr Koors. Thanks for all the good memories.
Tony & family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Please accept our sympathy as we share your grief. Godspeed to Andy. May God receive him with open arms. Love, peace and prayers. Sincerely, Mikey C
An overall great person. Always had a smile on his face...and always had a witty comment or joke for whatever the situation might be. Taken from us way too soon. You will forever be missed.
I was so very sorry to hear of Andy's passing. May God comfort you in this difficult time.
You will be missed. May the 4th be with you. I'll try to never end a sentence with a prep. And, "his name is Tim." Thank you for being such a fabulous friend and one of the best colleagues. Love you, Andy. One day, you can serve me a German light beer with 7 Up again! :)
