Andrew Sr. also managed a Burger King where he accidentally bleached the floors white by using too much lye when trying to remove the grease. On top of that, he worked in the farebox industry as an inspector at Keene Corporation, started as a shipping and receiving supervisor, and climbed the ranks to a field technician. He traveled the United States to assist the transportation industry with the installation, repairs, and testing of their farebox systems. General Farebox Incorporated, GFI Genfare, SPX Genfare and GENFARE for 41 years.
