\u201cAndrew is part of a long and honourable Irish tradition of public service with the United Nations,\u201d Martin said in a statement. \u201cHis family, and indeed Ireland, can be very proud of his work.\u201d<\/p>\n
Two of Grene\u2019s children currently are students at the University of Chicago \u2014 Alex, a second\u2013year student; and Patrick, who is in his third year. Andrew Grene\u2019s father, David Grene, was a University faculty member and an internationally recognized expert on the classics. He was among the founding members of the John U.

In addition to his two sons, Andrew Grene is survived by his wife, Jennifer; and a daughter, Rosamund. Services will be held in Ireland.<\/p>\n
