Charles "Chuck" Andres' Obituary
Charles Edward Andres, 81, passed away unexpectedly, Friday, November 12, 2021 at Henry Ford Allegiance Hospital, Jackson. Chuck’s family and friends will gather Wednesday, November 17, 2021 from 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm and Thursday, November 18, 2021 from 10:00 am – 11:00 am at Eineder Funeral Homes - Brooklyn Chapel. His funeral service will follow on Thursday, November 18, 2021 at 11:00 am. Pastor Jeff Sheeks will officiate.
He was born on January 22, 1940, in Detroit, Michigan to Charles and Ruth (Livernois) Andres. Chuck married Sandy Martin, on May 25, 1963 in Dearborn, Michigan. He will be remembered as a hard worker that could fix anything, affectionately called “Jack of all trades” or the “Go to Guy”. Chuck proudly served his country in the United States Air Force from 1958 – 1961. He then gained employment at Ford Motor Company, retiring after 30 years of service. Chuck was a man of many interests. He built his own home, helped his sons build their homes, fixed cars, did excavating, and drilled wells. Chuck had an extensive movie collection, several slot machines, juke boxes and other gadgets. He enjoyed water skiing on Vineyard Lake and flying (even owning his own airplane). Chuck loved spending time in his machine shop and tinkering. The memories he cherished most were his Sunday morning waffles with his family and spending time with his vast cat family. Chuck will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
Chuck is survived by his wife Sandy; his children, Gregg (Tracy) Andres and Timothy (Rene’) Andres; siblings, Sherry Vincent and Erv Andres; grandchildren Rebecca, Rachel, Tamsin, Jason, Nate, Lauren, and Rachel; and his special friend, Barb Wright. He is preceded in death by his parents, brother, Jim and sister, Nita.
