Andy Anderson
WG "Andy" Anderson 69, passed away June 26, 2013 peacefully at his home. He was born October 31, 1943 in Corpus Christie, TX to parents WG and Dallas Anderson. He married his soul mate and love of his life Juliann H. Anderson November 16, 1968 and was married for almost 45 years.
He proudly served our Country for 9 years as a Force Recon Marine and also a Jet Engine Mechanic in the US Air Force. He moved to Yucaipa, CA in 1968 and lived there for 25 years until moving to the Tri-Cities in 1992. He worked as a Federal Revenue Officer for the IRS until retiring in 2005.
Andy's happiest times were with his family. He was a beautiful guitar player and singer. He loved having bar-b-ques, going to the movies, playing jokes on his friends, and just sitting around the table talking. His most precious moments were spent in private with the woman who "took his breath away". He loved the time together: sitting on the deck in the beautiful back yard, dancing in the family room, or going on the cruises to Alaska.
Andy is survived by his Wife Juliann, Daughter Sindee and Son-in-law James McWhorter, West Richland, WA, Sister Jeannie Rose and Brother-in-law Edward Skow Amarillo, TX, Sister-in-law Marion Kirby Yucaipa, CA, Brother-in-law Herman and Sister-in-law Sandi Fullgrabe, Redlands, CA and Sister-in-law Marilyn Fullgrabe Yucaipa, CA and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.
All are invited to attend the Military Honor Guard Ceremony, which will be held at Sunset Memorial Gardens Saturday July 20, 2013 at 10:00. There will be a light reception to follow in Memories at Sunset Event Center. Come and share memories with his family.
We have two ways of remembering people who leave us and start another journey. We shed tears because they are no longer with us, and we smile and remember them through our countless memories of times spent together.
My sincere condolences on your loss.
Juliann and Sindee, I am so sorry for our loss of Andy. When we were young, we lived close together like one big family. Since becoming adults, we’ve lived far apart, but that family feeling never ended. I feel like I’ve lost a brother. I was born after Gil was already almost 8 years old; and, he would get tired of having to deal with a kid. I can’t tell you how many times he held me down and either bit my nose which I hated, or let spit dangle out of his mouth, just about to drop on my face. He was older and stronger, and I couldn’t get away. I can see that dangling spit right now, framed with Gil’s grin. I wish we could wrestle like that again. I didn’t know it at the time, but all those times were just building our brotherhood and were good! I can’t be there with you during this time, but my thoughts are sure there. Gil loved you two, with all of his heart. Thank you for being such fine cousins.
Juliann – Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Juliann,
I didn’t know Andy personally, only by what you shared from your heart during our discussions at class or at work. Heart sounds of a loved one are so special and I was so honored by your sharing!
I Pray you and your family will be comforted by the special memories of Andy. May you be surrounded by love and comfort of others at this tender time.
Please know I am just a phone call away, and would be glad just to be there by your side in silent support. 943-0757
Sincerely,
Linda Kowalski
