Andrew was a West Point Graduate and proudly served his country in the United States Army. He was employed as a police officer with the City of Chicago for 32 years. Andrew was an angel on earth, who would do anything for anyone. He was a gentle giant and a selfless man who loved spending time with his family and friends. One of Andrew’s favorite quotes was, “Give em Hell!” He was always up for a shot and a beer and looked forward to every football season with “Da Bears.” He will be deeply missed by his daughter, Leila and granddaughter, Kelley Ann. Andrew was preceded in death by his parents and his wife Katherine.
