Andrew “Andy” Louis Alterman, age 50, of Austell, Georgia was a long-time resident and beloved member of the Special Needs Cobb family. Andy loved being an official guide at the prior SNC golf events. He missed last year’s event due to serious illness and passed away on November 3, 2021, right after his beloved Braves won the World Series.

He embodied the qualities of a true friend, was active with his local community as a member of the Marietta Enrichment Center and was a constant presence at Special Needs Cobb, participating in numerous social and work activities. He also participated with both Bocce Ball and Swimming in the Special Olympics. Andy was an avid fan of the Atlanta Braves, Falcons and Hawks. He enjoyed watching scary movies and Marvel movies with his best friend Phillip, the Harry Potter fandom, theme parks, roller coasters, going to the mall, and talking on the phone, but his first love was coffee from RaceTrac.

Andy was a special person who lived with Prader Willi Syndrome. He was always the happiest person in the crowd.  We miss his loving spirit and constant presence and dedicate this year’s golf invitational to honoring his memory and contribution to the SNC family.
