Richard Andrews Obituary
June 14, 1943 - May 19, 2025
Arroyo Grande, California - It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Richard Allen Andrews, on May 19, 2025. Born on June 14, 1943, Rich was a devoted father, brother, uncle, and gentleman. He raised 2 sons, Todd Anthony Andrews and Greg Allen Andrews with his wife, Patty, in Camarillo, before moving to Arizona in the early 90's. Rich enjoyed boating and lake activities, art, travel, cars, casinos and conversation. He was devastated by the passing of his love, Patty, in 1998. In mid-2000s, he moved to Arroyo Grande to enjoy a more temperate climate and walks on the beach. He met Norma Jean Newdoll with whom he shared the past 25 years. Rich is survived by his son, Greg; grandkids Garrett, Adele, Cameron and Nicholas; siblings Rod, Ron, and Ellen. There will be a celebration of his life on Sunday, July 20 at 11:00 a.m. at The Monarch Club in Nipomo.
