He served during the Vietnam War and served as a lab technician. While stationed in Texas, he met his wife, Kathleen Beaudoin. They married on April 1, 1977 in Biddeford and resided in Kansas for several years before locating to Biddeford, Maine.
Andy and Kathleen had three children: Elaine, Bonnie, and Brenda and raised their children in Biddeford. Andy worked for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in the machine shop and supply department.
Andy is predeceased by his parents Roy and Norma Fern. He is survived by his wife Kathleen of Biddeford; his three daughters Elaine and husband Tim Paquette of Saco, Bonnie of Sanford, and Brenda and husband Ryan Keller of Augusta; five grandchildren: Caleb, Isaac, Leah, Keira, and Molly; one great-granddaughter Paisley; his brother Larry and wife Debbie of Tarpon Springs, FL; and 2 nieces and a nephew.
Andy loved spending time with family, reading books, listening to bluegrass music, and playing text twist word games. He was a lifelong learner always interested in history and science and enjoyed telling stories and reminiscing about life.
