Andy loved the ocean. Most summers he would drive his family to Long Island for a week with Rita's family. He faced those waves like he faced everything - with good humor, joy and determination. As others have said he could literally fix ANYTHING. A talent his family, neighbors and community so appreciated. Carol's first car was a 67 Mercury Comet with 3 on the column.

Many memories working with Uncle Andy. We spent many hours in the woods logging to get firewood.
