Andrew met his soul mate and love of his life Evelyn in Roy, New Mexico while in grade school and they were married in 1956 after Andrew returned from military service in Korea. They moved to Denver, Colorado after marriage where Andrew had a successful 40-year career at Rockmont Envelope Company where he held several leadership positions. Andrew had a strong Christian faith and belonged to Holy Cross Catholic Church in Thornton, Colorado. He loved sports, the outdoors, gardening, western movies and books and he worked out almost every day, but mostly, he loved helping people, whether it be his kids, grandkids, relatives, working at the Thornton Community Food Bank or simply helping a stranger or co-worker who was struggling. His dedication to his family, strong work ethic, high moral character and humble demeanor are admired by all of those who were blessed to have known him. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends and caregivers, many of whom were privileged to witness his strength, courage and grace during the last few difficult days of his otherwise healthy and fruitful life.

Survivors include: his wife of 66 years, his two sons, two daughers, 9 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren, and seventy-five loving nieces and nephews
