Andy met the love of his life, Mary, at the U.S.O. in Salina, Kansas. The two married in Salina on July 28, 1946. Their 70 years of marriage were filled with much laughter and very few tears. They were always together and on the move.

Andy worked for Lear Incorporated in Grand Rapids, MI for a number of years and later went on to own his own business, Anderson Electronics, selling electronic test equipment to the auto industry. When he wasn't at work, he was utilizing his pilot's license in his personal plane or was spotted on the golf course at Walnut Creek Country Club. Andy and Mary also got to see many sights around the globe. Among others, they visited Thailand, Australia, China, Europe and made numerous visits to Hawaii.
