Andy was a renaissance man with keen interests in music, art, politics and good food. He had a passion for things Tuscan and Italian and with Moira, was a part-time resident of Pienza where mornings were spent at the bar-café on the renaissance piazza-heart of the town or anytime overlooking the Val d’Orcia from their terrace. Before retiring, Andy was a senior policy advisor in the Canadian government and spent a number of years in Paris working in a similar role with the OECD.
