Andy was an avid Indiana University basketball fan and a proud Hoosier.  He developed into quite the foodie over the years and was becoming the requested chef at family gatherings.  Andy was always up to captain the Whaler for a day on the water, preferred a Jimmy Buffet song on the radio and enjoyed a fancy time at the pony track.  He cherished his role as uncle but most importantly loved being a father.
