He and Jean moved to Billings in the early 1950s, where Andy worked in carpentry and eventually began his own contracting business, from which he had retired.

Andy found great joy in his calling as a Sunday School teacher at First Presbyterian Church of Billings, where he taught children God's love for three decades. Andy loved God and his church family at Rocky Mountain Community Church, where Jean and Andy attended and served for many years.

Ever the nature lover, Andy delighted in God's creation around him. He loved caring for his many flowers around the yard and enjoyed watching the ducks and birds that visited there as well.
