Andy was also an avid reader, a Jeopardy enthusiast, loved a round of golf with his friends and family, and truly enjoyed making everyone laugh.
Andy was the beloved husband of 60 years to Florence (nee Mitzo); loving father of Andrea Carlson (Ted), Mark Dolan (Kelly), Patricia Mason (Kevin), Jennifer Wetzel (Karl), and Ann Marie Martich (Tom); devoted ‘Papa’ of seventeen (Andrew, Audrey, and Anthony Dolan, Emma, Danny, and Nora Martich, Breann Mason-Short (Chad), Kayla Mason-Turkalj (Matt), Logan and the late Taylor Mason, John and Brittany Dzingeleski, Megan, Abby, and Chloe Carlson, and Jack and Luke Wetzel; great grandfather of Mason, Kamren, Kensley, Liam, and Leighton; brother to the late Gerald (Betty), Marie Dick (Alex), Daniel (Janet), and Ann Hegarty (Donald); dear uncle of many nieces and nephews.
