Anchorage resident Leon "Dick" Andrews , 67, died April 9, 2005, at a Hospice home in Anchorage. A Moravian service was held at Turnagain United Methodist Church, 3300 W. Northern Lights Blvd.
Mr. Andrews was born Aug. 24, 1937, in Harbor Beach, Mich., to Elmer and Ethel Andrews . He attended school in Harbor Beach and served in the U.S. Air Force from 1957 to 1961. He made a living as an electronic technician and appliance repairman. He came to Alaska in 1961 and met and married Dora. They moved to Michigan before returning to Anchorage, where they made their home beginning in 1964. He built onto their original home with his own hands. He knew how to fix or build anything. He also had a big sense of humor with all who met him and every day said how much he loved his grandchildren and Trey Dock, who was given the same Eskimo name -- "Ilur'atler" -- as Mr. Andrew's late son, Kenneth. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
Mr. Andrews is survived by his wife of 42 years, Dora of Anchorage; daughter and son-in-law, Sharon and Ernest Johnson of Wasilla; son and daughter-in-law, David and Pamela Andrews of Anchorage; daughter, Helen Andrews of Anchorage; five grandchildren; and one step-grandchild.
