He also earned his degree in Arboriculture from Writtle University College. Andrew settled in the United States and married the love of his life, Kimberley Hager.

Andrew leaves behind at the trail head, his wife of 21 years, Kimberley, his sister, Marilyn Spearman, son Jacob, (Vytaute), and two granddaughters, Aila and Ona, and many family and friends from all walks of life around the world.
