F. Scott Andrews ’64

Scott, one of the most memorable personalities of the Class of  ’64, died July 26, 2023, in Anniston, Ala., after a brief illness.

Scott came to Princeton from Lawrenceville, where he was a strong student and a renowned prep school diver. At Princeton, he majored in art history, took his meals at Ivy, and was a three-year letterman and varsity diver for the swim team. He took first place in diving at the ECAC meet senior year. Scott was a member of the 21 and Right-Wing clubs. With his ready wit and Alabama charm, he easily collected friends and roommates (Baum, Churchill, Fuller, R. Wright, Hermanson, Hess, H. Johnson, B. Richardson).

After graduation Scott served on active duty and in the Army Reserve, worked in Washington in the congressional office of his father, then for the International Salt Co. before returning to his hometown of Anniston. There he ran his family’s company, Noble Signs, for more than 50 years.

Scott was renowned for his backflips, his sometimes tasteless but always hilarious jokes, and above all his love of family. He attracted friends with his openness, generosity, and sense of humor. His passing leaves a huge void for all of those who knew him. The class sends its sympathy and condolences to Scott’s wife, Augusta; his children Scotty, Lisa, and Joe; and his beloved grandchildren.
