                        HONORING GEORGE ANDREWS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT McINNIS

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 10, 2001

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, the city of Pueblo and the surrounding 
community has lost an exceptional member of their community and I would 
like to take this opportunity to recognize the distinguished life of 
Mr. George Andrews. George Andrews died at the age of seventy-two after 
suffering from illness for several months.
  Mr. Andrews was a dedicated family man who was also very successful 
as a business manager. George's life centered around his family and 
their foodservice business which was started by his father and uncle in 
1926. The business survived the Great Depression and has undergone many 
changes in clientele and inventory since it first originated. George 
Andrews took over his father's interest in the business after his death 
in 1950, eventually acquiring sole ownership. Andrews Foodservice 
remains family owned and operated and still provides an important 
service to the community. Mr. Andrews expressed his generosity through 
his relationship with his employees and his community. It wouldn't be 
surprising to see George providing the Colorado Highway Patrol with 
gifts to hand out to travelers during the holiday season.
  Mr. Speaker, George Andrews was successful not only with his 
business, but also with the bonds that he nurtured with his family and 
the community. He was a gracious man with a strong character and he 
will be missed. I would like to express my condolences to Mr. Andrews' 
family and friends. He will not be forgotten.
