We would like to thank his late friend John Eagan for his patience and talent showing him the way. Andrew worked in Electronic Sales, starting at Durell in Somerville, then A W Electronics in Medford, where he and Pat enjoyed perks of annual European trips. He eventually retired from the MacInnis Co. in Norwood. In his retirement , Andy enjoyed spending time in Jefforson, ME, where he and Pat had a home on Damariscotta Lake, enjoying boat rides and "Friendly" card games with the friends they made. They also had a home at Beach Cove Sebastian, FL, enjoying neighborhood get togethers and winters sitting in the warm sun. They would always let us know what the weather was like compared to here, especially when gathered for the afternoon "vespers" at the neighbors deck.
