Andrew was a gifted mechanic beyond his training and experience. His skills as a cook he brought with him from his time working for his sister Martha McGuire (Jerry) at their business, Kelly’s Sea Level, in Rye, NY.
His greatest joy was his family and friends, especially his son, Andrew, Jr., (Jamie) and granddaughter Maclaren Ann. He loved his step grandchildren Tyler, Riley, and Sophie, and his step children Brent, Heather and Whitney.
All who loved him will remember his cooking, he generous spirit, and his sense of humor.
