So he dropped out of school in the 3rd grade to help his mother on the Farm. He moved to Kansas City in 1952 with his Uncle Grady. He started working immediately at the Folly Theatre and the Inferno. He worked at Marion Laboratories for 20 years and retiring. This is where his Love for the Kansas City Royals began. Andrew was a huge fan of the Kansas City Royals. He was super excited to see them win their 2nd World Series in 2015.   He held many jobs over the years. The last one was at Marriot Hotel in downtown Kansas City retiring again after 10 years there. He enjoyed working on cars. He loved going to Bingo, playing Tunk, solitaire and his favorite was playing Dominoes. You knew you was about to get beat when he started saying “OHHHH MYYY GOOODDDNNNEEESSSS” He taught so many of us this game. He loved all sports but watching the Kansas City Royals no matter their record was his favorite past time. He enjoyed being a provider for his family and friends. Driving to take you to work ,school, the doctors office or just to the gas station.
