Andy was a US Marine Corp veteran and Army National Guard reservist who proudly served his country. He was a voracious reader with a deep love of learning, talented artist whose works adorn many walls, and he was on the side of everyone who loved him. Andy retired early from a career as an industrial maintenance mechanic to fulfill his dream of living a quiet life and making art. He was a teacher, a mentor and a friend to many, and he used his great sense of humor to make everyone laugh. He was a kind, thoughtful and generous family man who will be greatly missed by those who knew him. We're on your side, Oh Great One. A celebration of life will be planned at a future date.
