Andy was born and raised in New York. After graduating high school in 1981, he enlisted in the United States Navy and dedicated six years of service as an Electronics Technician until his Honorable Discharge. He moved to St. Mary’s County where he worked for government contractors for many years before his current career with the Department of Defense at the Naval Air Station – Webster Field. During this time, he met his amazing wife Robin – the love of his life whom he married on December 30, 2005. Together they celebrated over eight wonderful years of marriage before her death in March 2014.
He enjoyed country music, golfing and playing in men’s softball leagues. Andy loved gadgets and tools; working on cars and fixing broken things. He deeply loved his family and friends, and had a close bond with his co-workers. His Chihuahua, Lacey Girl, gave him much joy for many years. Andy was always willing to help others and had an incredible sense of humor. He will be greatly missed!
