Andy was a huge sports fan and loved gathering with the family to cheer on the Patriots. He was so proud of his granddaughter, Kayla, when she cheered for the New England Patriots for 4 years and they won two superbowls.

He loved to go to the casinos and with his wife they would go gamble and meet friends they made there.

Andy also loved his Carlo Rossi wine and for years made us white wine spritzers. Dad loved to cook and was very good at it. Every Saturday he would cook a huge meal for family Sunday dinners. Bouillabaisse pasta with clams he picked was the best ! And nobody made a salad like him. Extended family could not wait to eat his salad at our family parties ! We had huge Christmas Eve parties and he was the best host ever !

Andy loved the sea and started out taking his family camping in Brewster and Dennis before he bought a house in Falmouth MA. For 35 years he spent summers and weekends teaching his kids and grandkids, how to fish, crab, clam and quahog. The best memories were made with his family at the Cape and we will keep his memory alive as we continue to do all the things he loved.
