Andrew W. McConnell, (The Sarge), 73, of Deerfield Beach Florida, formerly of Hudson, MA, died on March 20th at North Broward Medical Center in Florida.
Andrew was born in Cambridge, MA and raised by his mother, the late Louise (Bergen) McConnell and his father, the late Andrew McConnell.

In the late 70's early 80's he had a special partner, K-9 Rommel, who worked right beside him. It was the best part of his job he would say, an unconditional bond two partners could ever have.
