Edward J. Andrews, 71, originally from Chittenango, passed away Feb. 27, 2023, at Catholic Hospice at Holy Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Ed was born in Syracuse, the fourth of five children born to Archie and Margaret Andrews. Ed attended Chittenango Central School and earned his GED. He attended Mohawk Valley Community College after hitchhiking with a friend to California and working on a shrimp boat in Louisiana. He finally found his niche after returning to CNY – that being an electrician. He worked for several electrical contractors in the Central New York area before starting his own business.
He is survived by his brother, Dave Andrews; his sister, Mary Colclough, as well as several nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, Ed was predeceased by his oldest brother, Tom and youngest sister, Janet McGauley.
A celebration of Ed’s life will be held beginning at 4 p.m. on June 17, 2023 at a residence at 5073 Irish Ridge Road, Chittenango (around the corner from Chittenango Falls.) Please come, bring a chair, a snack or dish to pass and a memory or two. Condolences for Ed’s family may be left at michaelebrownfuneralservices.com.
