George William Andrews ’46

Body

After a long battle with Parkinson's disease, George died Aug. 1, 1999, in St. Louis, Mo., his home since birth.

There he attended John Burroughs School before entering Princeton. He was managing editor of Bric-A-Brac, president of Court Club, and a member of the St. Louis Club. He served three years in the Navy, becoming an ensign, returning to graduate from Princeton in 1948. George married Marybill Fretwell of St. Davis, Pa., on Oct. 15, 1986. They became parents of Carol, Christopher, and William, and George W. Andrews Jr., who died in 1986.

George was president and owner of Ohio Manufacturing Co., a supplier of automotive wiring products. He served for 12 years on the board of Parkway School, was long associated with the Boy Scouts of America, and was elder for many years at Evangelical Free Church.

To his wife and family, the class offers its deepest sympathy on the loss of a fine and loyal member.
