Andy cherished time with his children and grandchildren, always ready with a warm hug and always interested in whatever they had going on in their lives . He will be remembered for his unwavering support, his infectious laugh and his amazing smile.
Andy will be deeply missed by his wife of 57 years, Joy Gifford, his daughter's Andi and Debby, son in law Will, his brother Bruce, sister in law Margie as well as his grandchildren Hailey, Ashley, Ramsay, Jared, Jared's wife Aubrey and his great grand daughter Evelyn.
