Andy was an avid Denver Bronco’s fan…never interrupt Bronco game!!   In Andy’s pre-California days while living in Colorado, he owned & rode a motorcycle. He especially enjoyed riding  it in  the Colorado mountains. John Denver; especially “Rocky Mountain High” is a remembered favorite.   Andy’s family is very appreciative the assistance & support from his Greeley neighbors  & a close friend he worked  & lived with both in California & Colorado.
