He is survived by his children: daughter Amber Wazewski (Matt), daughter Velvet Neilsen (Jim), son Jeremy Andrus (Summer), and son Joshua Andrus (Margaret), 13 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren, and numerous loved ones. He is preceded in death by his father Milo Andrus, mother Margarete Bessan, Sisters Gloria, Barbara, and Joyce, and brothers Clarence and Lawrence.
Ever the perfectionist, Jerry spent the better years of his working days at Gottschall Engraving where he was one of the last to perform bookbinding by hand. He was famous for his French Fries, passion for old westerns and B-movies, playing bass guitar in a band when he was younger, buying gadgets, and nicknaming his toupee “The Unit”. He had an amazing heart and cared fiercely for his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. Jerry was one of a kind and will be greatly missed.
His family would like to thank those who cared for him and the friends he made at St. Joseph Villa, including Joelle and Taylor and so many others. We love you, Dad.
