Jon (Jonsie) Andresen, 75, loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, died on Sept 29, 2020. A Staten Islander since birth, Jonsie graduated from McKee High School where author Frank McCourt was his English teacher.
His career highlights include the Ford Motor Co. and the NYC Department of Sanitation, the latter being where he met some of his best friends. He loved working outdoors and with his hands, forever shunning the idea of sitting behind a desk.
Jonsie's happiest memories were spent with his family, eating burgers, stirring up mischief, watching NASCAR, listening to music (namely James Brown, Bonnie Raitt and ACDC), and standing firm in his allegiance to Coors Lite. He loved traveling to the Jersey shore, on cruises to Bermuda or to wherever his daughter was stationed in the military.
Jonsie is survived by his wife, Judy; his daughters, Stacey, Merry and Erika; his grandchildren, Ashley, Justin and Jason; his sister, Mary and his son-in-law, Jason. He is remembered fondly as a good man and great friend.
Celebrate and mourn the life of this wonderful man who created incredible memories at Harmon Funeral Homes, Friday, 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Kidney Fund.
