After service, he returned to marry Hulda Hodgkins, with whom he had a daughter. Andrew drove a truck for a gas company, living in Bar Harbor and Ellsworth but was forced to stop that work in 1952 following a shoulder injury. He has many stories from his time in Southwest Harbor; the first car in the town, Beech Mountain priginally being called Herrick Mountain, finding bootleg booze in Summer People's houses.
