Andrew was a graduate of Detroit Catholic Central High School, Michigan College of Mining & Technology (BS Mathematics) where he was a proud member of Phi Kappa Tau fraternity, Michigan State University (MS Mathematics) where he met his loving wife, Margaret, of nearly 60 years, and the University of Oregon (PhD Mathematics).
