Andrew grew up in Harlem NYC and married Mary in 1942. He served with the US Navy during WWII and Mary joined him on the West Coast until his discharge. They returned to NYC and in 1955 moved their family from the Bronx to Freeport, Long Island. For over forty years Andrew worked as a lathe operator for various manufacturers in the area. In 1984 they retired to Toms River to be near family. Andrew loved history and was an avid reader and story teller right up to his passing. He was drawn to the ocean and, while able, enjoyed walking the Seaside Heights boardwalk.
