The 2011 Glen Cove St. Patrick’s Day Parade had beautiful weather as the marchers went down Glen Street. The sidewalks were filled four to five deep in Downtown Glen Cove, cheering on Grand Marshal Andy Stafford and his Aides Jim Burke and Carol McTigue.

“I am so honored this day,” said Stafford. “I couldn’t imagine it any better.”

Three different counties and six different AOH divisions were represented, while the Nassau County Ladies were also out in full force.

He is a parishioner of St. Domnic and has been involved with his church through the years, volunteering at such events as the St. Rocco’s Festival and Carnival.

Anyone who knows Andrew will tell you he is a sports fanatic. His interest in sports started at a very young age when he fondly remembers been allowed to stay up  with his dad, into the wee hours of the morning,  to listen on the transistor radio, to the World Heavy Weight Boxing Championships, broadcast from around the world.  Through his school years, Andrew participated in all the local sports and at the age of nineteen he joined his local handball club, at its inception in 1982. Handball quickly became his favorite sport and he soon started competing in novice grade tournaments at local and county level.  He had conquered the 60×30 County novices Doubles, County Team of Four and moved up a grade to capture the County Junior singles titles, prior to immigrating to the United States.  While back in Ireland in 1990, he started training again and before moving back to the U.S. he had captured the 60×30 County Intermediate doubles title.  Andrew was also very involved with his local club at committee level, carrying the offices of Treasurer and PRO respectively. He also spent a number of years as club trainer for the local boys and girls.

Andrew was a member of the St. Patrick’s Blood Drive Committee for many years. He is currently a member of the Matinecock Rod& Gun Club.

Andrew joined Mike Moran Division 8 of The Ancient Order of Hibernians, Glen Cove in 1996. He made his Major Degree in 1997 and through the years with division 8, he held the offices of Marshal, Vice President on three different occasions and President. He chaired several events over the years, most notably the Division’s Christmas party, Fox Navigation trip to the Irish Hunger Memorial in Manhattan and the division’s annual boat trip to the Statue of Liberty.  He also served as Treasurer of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee and was the chairman from 2001 to 2010. At present he holds the office of Charities and Missions within the division.
