Robert "Bob" Andrews

Robert "Bob" Andrews died peacefully in his home on September 16 in Parchment, MI at the age of 72, after suffering for many years from heart conditions and MS. Bob was selfless and most would never know the pain he endured because he never complained. Bob is survived by his wife, Sherry; children, Chad (Susan) Andrews; grandchildren, Luke and Sienna. He is preceded in death by his children, Nicole Lee, Austin Robert, and Luke Chad; father Ralph Glenn Andrews of South Dakota; favorite beloved companion, his Doberman, Deuce. Bob was born on August 22, 1948 in Huron, South Dakota to Glenn and LaVonne (Nelson) Andrews. He graduated from KVCC with a degree in Computer Science. He married Sherry, the love of his life, in 1973. After moving to Michigan, Bob began working for Allen Test Products and Burroughs Mfg in Computer Operations. Bob often said his best times were spent working alongside his son in his flooring business. He was also known as ‘Dune Buggy Bob’ around town and loved early morning buggy rides and time with family at Silver Lake Sand Dunes. He enjoyed cooking large meals for his family and always made sure their needs were taken care of before his own. But more than anything, he loved spending time with his son and best friend, Chad, and cherished every minute with his grandchildren, Luke and Sienna. A cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be announced at a later date. While visiting Bob’s webpage at www.mccowensecord.com please sign the guestbook by lighting a candle, and/or sharing a memory with the family. The family is being assisted by the McCowen & Secord Funeral Home; Marshall & Gren Chapel, 120 S. Woodhams St. Plainwell, MI 49080 (269-685-5881).
