Born on Dec. 4, 1938, in Dubois, Pa., the son of Andrew and Mary Frost Gray, Andy was a star athlete at Reynoldsville High School, holding many school records in football and baseball.

Following graduation, he relocated to Warren in 1959, and began working at Copperweld Steel for 40 years, first as an overhead crane operator and then as a crane repairman, until the mill closed in 2000.

Andy enjoyed playing golf on the Copperweld league and others in the area. Most recently, he and his partner, Terri, enjoyed birding, especially searching for eagles in and around Mosquito Lake. A die-hard Steelers fan, Andy also took great pride in their lawn and his garden.
