Bill never met a stranger. He would approach people that he "thought" he knew and by the end of the conversation they were friends if they weren't already. Bill was known to be ornery and loved to find people that would argue with him. Chewing tobacco was one of those vices he thoroughly enjoyed and never wanted to give up. Shortly after his wife's death in 1997, a stray dog showed up at his doorstep. Bill adopted the dog as his new best bud, named him Hank, and together they went everywhere. Toward the end of his life, Bill wished to go home and see the horses that he had in his younger years. He loved his horses and enjoyed watching horses race in the Kentucky Derby.
Bill will be deeply missed by his children Bob Andrews of Blooming Grove, IN, Chuck (Betty) Andrews of Logan, Richie (Barb) Andrews of Greendale; grandchildren Jenny Maxwell, Curtis (Cindy) Andrews, Chad (Tracy) Andrews, Billy (Michelle) Smith, Kitty (Jerry) Wickersham, Annie Andrews, Terri (Chris) Friedhoff, Tom Andrews, Stephanie, Stacy & Ben Irrgang, Carrie (Tony) Stegemiller, Chris Andrews; great grandchildren Thomas Maxwell, Makaylynn Andrews, Alex & Colt Smith, Bradley, Jason & Kali Wickersham, Ashley Andrews, Corey Johnson, Cayden McGee, Kaylin & Andy Friedhoff, and three great-great grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his wife of 50 years Edna Andrews, children Carol Smith, Nancy (Donnie) Irrgang, daughter-in-law Deb Andrews, parents Marie & Charles Andrews and 13 siblings.
