Andrew was the kind of guy who could walk in and get 35 on the ACT test and a Master’s Degree, but spend his life working on hunger projects and teaching special needs children.
He had a special talent for trivia and his team won many competitions. He will be missed by his family, friends and hundreds of children he would have taught.
A Celebration of Life was held in California on February 23, 2018. There will be a small family memorial service in Little Rock in April, followed by a Celebration of Life in Scotland for his British family.
