Andrew was from a large family and universally considered the most spirited. Andrew was independent, held strong opinions and beliefs, and was not afraid to share them. He was passionate about social and racial justice issues.
At the age of seventeen, Andrew enlisted in the Marine Corps. He valued this service highly.
