Andy was born in Washington, DC on May 19, 1941. He grew up in Wyndmoor and Flourtown, PA, graduated from Springfield Township HS, Penn State (BS and MS) and Temple University (EdD). He completed his service in the Army as a Captain. He retired as a School Superintendent after 35 years as an educator. Before and after his retirement he spent his "leisure" time as a house painter primarily in Thousand Island Park, NY.
He served communities through a water and sewer authority, Rotary and Lions' Clubs, preservation and landmark societies, Athletic Committee, Bocce, Bingo, and Trivia activities. He struggled to remain still and endeavored to get the life story of everyone he met. He was a consummate gentleman, and he epitomized humbleness.
