Andy enjoyed gardening, tending to both his flowers and his vegetable garden.   He also enjoyed watching baseball and football with his wife, the two would even stay up and watch the late games from beginning to end.  Their enthusiasm for watching sports carried down to watching all of their grandchildren's games throughout the years.  It was times like this with family that Andy treasured the most.
