Charles "Sonny" Andrews II

SHREVEPORT, LA – Celebrating the life of Charles H. (Sonny) Andrews II who was born February 7, 1929, in San Antonio, TX, to Charles H. Andrews and Lillian Glass Andrews Sweeny. Sonny died November 25, 2014, after losing his battle with cancer at Grace Home in Shreveport. Sonny attended Jefferson Military Academy and after graduation joined the US Navy where he served as a Fire Controlman from 1948 to 1952 on the Destroyer USS Agerholm (826) during the Korean War and also played on the Navy Championship Softball team. Sonny married his wife, Bobbie Jean Stevens Andrews, on February 17, 1956. He donated most of his time working as an Auxiliary Police Officer with the Shreveport Police Department and also as a Caddo Parish Reserve Deputy until going to work as a University Police Officer with LSUS Medical Center where he retired as a Sergeant. After retiring Sonny enjoyed wood working, spending time with his great-grandchildren, and was an avid LSU fan until his illness prevented him from continuing with his passions.
