Timothy L. Andrews of Lewiston passed away Wednesday morning, May 23, 2012, after a long battle with liver disease.

Tim was born Oct. 12, 1938, to Leo and Hilma Andrews in Lewiston. He graduated from Lewiston High School in 1957 and was involved in various athletics, including baseball, basketball and football. Following graduation, he attended both Lewis-Clark State College and University of Idaho. He also spent many summers working the harvest.

On Aug. 4, 1962, Tim married Louise Dykes in Clarkston; one year later their son Derek was born, followed by Andrea Kim in 1965 and Stacey in 1969. Tim contributed more than 30 years of service in the National Guard and retired from Potlatch Corp. in 1998 after more than 40 years of service.

Tim was an avid fisherman, outdoorsman and sports fan. He spent most of his summers enjoying the outdoors and camping with family and friends. He also enjoyed traveling with his family. Tim volunteered much of his time to the Idaho State Veterans Home and was given a commemorative brick by his wife and children in honor of his contribution to service. He was a longtime member of the Kelly Creek Flycasters fishing club, where he served as president for a term. He was also a longtime member of the Moose Lodge No. 751 in Clarkston. He was very proud to be an LHS alum and never missed a class of '57 reunion or festivity. He was known by friends as Lucky Tim due to his various raffle and gambling winnings.

He is survived by his wife, Louise; son Derek (Tana) Andrews of Richland; daughters Andrea Kim of Lewiston and Stacey (Brent) Boudreaux of Aurora, Colo.; one grandchild, Paige M. Boudreaux; mother Hilma Andrews; brother Mike (Sandy) Andrews; sisters Bonnie Jean Richards, Anna Rae Semler, Judy Andrews, Linda (Frank) Bauer and Terry Fetner; and numerous nieces and nephews. Tim was preceded in death by his father, Leo Andrews, and brother Tom (Carole) Andrews.

Funeral services have been made with Malcom's Brower-Wann Funeral home. Services are scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday, May 27, at Orchards United Methodist Church. Those wishing to leave the family condolences may do so at www.malcomsfuneralhome.com under the web memorials tab.
