On August 23rd, 2017, our beloved father, Clarence "Andy" Elmer Andrews, peacefully sailed away to be with his lovely wife, Jane Frances Hynan Andrews. He was the son of Emma Sophia Ramming and Frederick Adreon Andrews. He was born on July 28th, 1928 in Baltimore, MD. Andy was a 1945 graduate of Baltimore Polytechnic Institute. He graduated from the Drexel Institute of Technology with a BS in Mechanical Engineering in 1948. He was a member of Tau Beta Pi (Honorary Engineering Society), Pi Tau Sigma (Honorary Mechanical Engineering Society) and the Blue Key Honorary Service Fraternity. Andy played goalie on the Drexel Lacrosse team 1946, 1947, 1948 and was selected All-Pennsylvania team and All American Honorable Mention (1947, 1948), captain 1947, 1948. Andy was inducted into the Drexel Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2004. Andy worked 1948-49 at Yarnall-Waring Co. in Chestnut Hill, PA and 1949-50 at the American Smelting and Refining Co. in Baltimore. He served in the USAF 1950-54 and was discharged as 1st Lieutenant. Andy began working at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in 1954 as a specialist in Strategic Systems Programs and later Fleet Ballistic Missile systems, where he met his beloved wife Jane Hynan; they wed in 1958. From 1959 onward, he worked in analysis of the Polaris, Poseiden, and Trident Strategic Weapon Systems. He was appointed to the Principal Professional Staff of APL. In 1994, Andy retired as Strategic Systems Department Program Manager for Advanced Systems. Andy enjoyed his work immensely and found great friendships in his co-workers and the JHU/APL golf league members. Andy is survived by his children, William Andrews (m.Shelley), Susan Krisch (m. Andy) of Ashton, MD, Thomas Andrews of Severna Park, MD and Anne Province (m. Mike) of Severna Park, MD. Eight loving grandchildren blessed Andy's life. They are Emma Bolin (m.Matt), Sophia Krisch of San Francisco, CA, Thomas Krisch of Severn, MD, Kyle Andrews, John Krisch of Richmond, VA, Sam Andrews, Andrew and Claire Province of Severna Park, MD. He is also survived by his two beloved sisters, Emma May Marco and Dorothy Sarter of Ocean Pines, MD. Andy's dear brother, Carroll Adreon, recently passed. Andy's hobbies and passions were golfing and sailing. Andy was a one of a kind, classic, that brought joy to all that knew him. We lost a wonderful father; the captain of our ship. We hope you are navigating the stars with your sweetheart Jane by your side. There will be a private family burial at the Maryland Veterans Cemetery in Crownsville on Monday, September 11th. A memorial gathering for family and friends to celebrate Andy's life will be held at Quiet Waters Blue Heron Center on September 11th, 1pm. In lieu of flowers, contributions in his memory can be made to the Kennedy-Krieger Institute of Baltimore, Children's National Medical Center and Maryland Public TV.
