He served for thirty years in the U. S. Army and completed two tours of duty in Vietnam.

He is survived by siblings James and Jane (Major) Andrew; children Catherine Andrew, Mark (Joan) Andrew of Holland and Michael (Vanessa) Andrew. He is also survived by grandchildren Julia, Madeline, Elizabeth, Thomas and Lukas, and great-grandchild Olivia (Dziegelewski).
A memorial for Don will be held on Friday, January 2, 2015, from 4:30 – 6:30 p.m. at the Freedom Village auditorium, 145 Columbia Avenue in Holland, Michigan.
