Somers, Andrew L. II CORONADO, Calif. Andrew Lawrence Somers II of Coronado, died September 7, 2010, at his residence after a courageous struggle with melanoma. He was born March 21, 1959 in Kingston, N.Y., the son of Edward McCor-mick Somers Sr. and Maria Giallongo Somers. Andy was a 1976 graduate of Columbia High School in East Greenbush, N.Y.

He was a certified tax law specialist with a master of laws in taxation and had an MSBA in tax and financial planning. Andy was an adjunct professor at SDSU and an instructor at UCSD Extension. He sat on the Ethics Board of UCSD for clinical trials. Andy loved fishing, camping, cycling and the Prairie Home Companion, and most of all he loved being Chelsea’s dad. He is survived by his wife, Sheri Somers; and his daughter, Chelsea Somers of Coronado; and his father and stepmother, Edward McCormick Somers and Nancy Hurd Somers of Valatie, N.Y.
