They were married in 1957 in Hawkesbury Canada and later settled in Upper Montclair where they raised their three children. Dr. Andrews was an active member in both the American Chemical Society (66 years) and the Royal Chemical Society. He worked on several groundbreaking projects and held several patents for his work.
