Andy enjoyed at great many things in his life, such as hunting,  fishing, and bowling.  When he was asked about his favorite color, it was always blue which when worn would make his blue eyes look brighter. He spent many nights watching his favorite actor John Wayne and would watch and rewatch any movie starring him. When Andy was not watching movies, working or spending time with his family, he and Connie loved visiting the casinos. Whenever someone heard Andrew mention his baby, they knew he was talking about his beloved 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix, which was limited edition with only 500 made.
