Obituary for Richard Allen Andrews

Richard A Andrews 51 of Egg Harbor Township passed away suddenly on Tuesday, March 14th after battling many illnesses over the years. Born September 12, 1971 in Somers Point, NJ to Fletcher and Mary Jane (Biddulph) Andrews. Ricky lived in many places over the years including Atlantic City and Brooklyn NY where he attended elementary school and high school. He spent most of his adult life in Bristol PA, his hometown of Egg Harbor Twp, and Allentown PA. He really had an old soul from shows on television to movies and even in music. Ricky will be most remembered for his love of New York sports teams, especially the NY Giants, hunting and fishing, watching old television shows and movies with his kids, taking long walks, and his generous heart that was willing to help out anyone no matter who they were. He loved eating good food and telling endless stories.

He is survived by his wife of almost 21 years Christina (DaPrato) Andrews, his four sons Andy Andrews, Ron Bentivoglio, Richard (JR), Ben, and Vincent Andrews, and his daughter Madelyn Andrews and granddaughter Andalise Andrews.. He is also survived by his, brothers Flicky (Maria) Andrews, Michael (Deborah) Andrews, sisters Michelle (Coy) Luna-Evans, Lisa (Erik) Lauffer-Andrews, mother-in-law Madeline DaPrato, father-in-law Alfred DaPrato Jr., sister-in-laws Jennifer (Humberto) Maldonado, Lauren (Taylor) Rowell, brother-in-laws AJ (Brenda) DaPrato, Matt (Jenn) DaPrato, Adam DaPrato, nephews (Jayson, Jonathan, Coy, Lincoln, and Luke) and nieces (Jessica, Amber, Kota, Emily, Brooklyn, Aubrey, Maesleigh, and Hensleigh) along with many aunts, uncles and cousins. Waiting in heaven to meet him are his parents Flick and Jane along with other family and friends that predeceased him.

Ricky was taken way too young but his wings must have been ready for him. No funeral services will be held as Ricky hated funerals, so instead his family has decided to celebrate his life with the spreading of his ashes at a later date.
