ANDREW PHILLIP MARINO

1939 - 2018
It is with great sadness I announce the loss of my husband, Andrew (Andy), who died peacefully in his home after an extended illness on Feb. 15, 2018. Andy was born on June 25, 1939.
He was the son of Philip John Marino and Annie Marion Dimiceli Marino. He was born and raised in Morgan City, Louisiana. He attended Nicholls State College where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics. He then went on to earn a Master’s Degree in Computer Science at the University of Southwest Louisiana. He worked at various United States Air Force Stations around the country with different companies as a Computer Systems Analyst. He proudly served in the United States Air Force Reserve for six years.
He was a Master Carpenter and was a loyal fan of the LSU Tigers and the Saints. He devoted his life to God, his family and country. He made his home in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, but his heart was always in Louisiana.
