Born in Buda, Texas, on November 10, 1931, Andrew graduated from Austin High School and ended up having a career with AISD. He was a veteran of the Korean War and served two terms in the U.S Army in the Artillery.
Andrew was a member of San Jose Catholic Church and enjoyed bowling in leagues, going dancing, and drinking coffee with his fellow army vets. He was a great and loving man who will be deeply missed. The family would like to thank all the nurses and staff who helped care for him in his final moments. In particular, they would like to recognize Johnny's caregiver, Xiomara Manso, for her compassion and hard work; Johnny appreciated her and the family is grateful for her efforts.
