Andrews was married to Sabine Alston Goodman Andrews for 57 years. They had two daughters, Jean and Mason.
Elizabeth Carr would grow up to become a newspaper reporter in Augusta, Maine and later worked for boston.com. "The running joke in my family was that Mason, whom we called Mace the Ace, had the plans for Waterside at the same time I was about to be born," she said. "My parents always said we were Mace's two babies."
She said Andrews made a point of staying in touch with her, always called her on holidays and sent her a wedding gift.
"I grew up on Mason's lap," she said. "Every time we got together, he would make a point to take my family out to dinner and would always make sure I was keeping my grades up."
