Andrew was born in the Philippines and was from a family of six siblings including himself. His family had rice farms. He enlisted is the US Navy in 1955 and served for 21 years retiring with the ranking of a chief officer. He had duties at sea on the USS RANGER (CVA-61) and the USS INDEPENDENCE (CVA-62) and retiring in Norfolk, Virginia. While in the Navy is attended dental technician school and retired as the Chief Dental Technician of the dental laboratory for the Navy. He then went on to work as a dental technician and teaching at the University of West Virginia for three years. He moved his family to Florida is 1980 to open his own dental laboratory with a dentist from the University. He was very well respected in his line of work and had a successful business until he retired in 1995.

Andrew married Jeanette Vallo December 12, 1959 and they were married for 61 years. He is survived by their six children Andy Vallo, Ellen Mohamad, Michael Vallo, Adrian Vallo, Jennifer (Melvin) Coleman, Christina Whitaker; five grandchildren Kinsey and Sophie Whitaker, Brittany, Melvin and Lilian Coleman that he loved dearly. He was a loving husband and father. He is loved and will be missed by many.

He is a faithfully devoted Catholic and had attended services for many years until it his health began to decline. He was a resilient man and continued to show strength in all aspects of his life until his last moment.

Andrew wasn't just a father...he was the world, the rock, mentor and a best friend to many aside from his wife and children. As painful as it may seem that we cannot physically hear him and see him and the way he exudes such a happy and vibrant energy when he was around; we know he is no longer suffering and is with his family and God now. Please let bring comfort to all.

Until We Meet Again…..Rest in Peace.
