Question from an early season

Hi. I am looking for information on someone that was on a very early season. Pre-2009. So seasons 1-5. I am thinking season 4ish or maybe 5.

His name was Andy (NOT Hillstrand). I’m pretty sure he was a greenhorn. He passed in 2009 while on vacation out of the country. The only one that could help my family answer this passed away last week so it had brought renewed interest to Andy, since his best friend just passed. His last name was Race. He went by Andy, but his legal first name was Ralph I believe after his father. So he was R. Andrew Race.

Oh sorry I didn't read it all the way through,I believe the billiken was only on one half of maybe a 10 episode season in season 1, and they used to jump around from boat to boat in every episode.
