Montclair native with an enduring interest in art

Andrew graduated from Kent School, where he was a dorm prefect, captain of the cross-country track team, and editor of the Kent News. He then went on to graduate cum laude from Montclair State University. Andrew resided in the East Village in New York City, where he enjoyed studying and experiencing the history of New York City and sharing his knowledge as a licensed tour guide.

He had a natural gift for interacting with people of all ages. To know Andrew was to love him.
