It is with great sadness that we share news of the passing of Andy Wicks. Andy was not only a former SIM Division chair, but a dearly cherished colleague, a mentor to many of us, an inspiration, and an exemplary human being. We celebrate Andy's life with deep gratitude and extend our most sincere condolences to Andy's family and friends. He will be deeply missed. Rest in peace, to one of our very best!
The SIM Division plans to convene a gathering of remembrance in honor and celebration of Andy during the next AOM Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, August 2026. Details will follow for those interested in joining us.
