an obituary from the Edward Lawrence Funeral Home

___________

He centered a vast network of extended family and a formidable group of friends.

Andrew (the Tuna) could walk into a room and immediately transform it into a place where you wanted to be. He had boundless energy and an infectious sense of humor. Second to family was sports — playing sports, watching sports, and talking about sports. The New York Giants just lost their most ardent fan!

A magnificent host and amazing chef, Andrew made their home the destination of choice for gatherings of family and friends.

Surviving Andrew in addition to his wife, children and friends are his father and mother; step-mother Cindy McWilliams; brothers: Alex and (his wife Kim McWilliams) of Chatham, N.J.; ThomasMcWilliams and James McWilliams of Basking Ridge, N.J.; and nephews and niece Alexander IV, Tucker, and Madeline of Chatham; as well as in-laws, Dick and Dotty Krant; and brother-in-law, Trip Krant of Osterville, Mass..

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., Thursday, Feb. 9 at St Luke’s Episcopal Church in Darien, followed by a private family internment.
