Body

Andy died Aug. 30, 2013.

He came to us from Phillips Exeter Academy, where he was on the football and track teams. At Princeton, he played polo, was on the track team, and served as secretary of Whig-Clio. His major was SPIA.

He graduated cum laude and began a stellar career in the Army, taking part in the invasion of Normandy as part of the 82nd Airborne Division. He was awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star, among other awards. He retired from the Army Reserve as a lieutenant colonel.

Andy was admitted to practice law in Pennsylvania in 1949 and appeared before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court. He was listed in Who’s Who in American Law.

One of Andy’s accomplishments was restoring a 200-year-old farmhouse, part of which was the home of the first settler in O’Hara Township, Pa.

He leaves his wife, Peggy, and his son, Peter.
