Uncle Tom has been a shining light for all the Andrick family all of his life. I will miss him.
Prayers of comfort for the family. I will always remember the great man my Great Uncle Tom was. He was able to connect with the young. I remember him roller skating with a bunch of us cousins when he was in his late 50’s or early 60’s. I will always remember his great Christian example and living out his faith. I spent my summers in West Virginia and heard him pray many a Sunday at church. He would teach about gardening and bees. He would invite the whole church to the Andrick Reunions. Uncle Tom would come with his wife my Great Aunt Audrey to the Dadisman Reunion and would always say they prayer before we ate. He confronted the young for living together and not being married or if not attending church. And he would get after the not so young if he found out they had quit attending church. He wanted to see everyone in heaven. He will be missed by many.

Doc, as we at Clay County High School called him was a joy to work with. I worked with him building floats for the homecoming parade for several years. He always told all who were present, “The greatest man who ever lived was Jesus Christ”! RIP Doc. You earned it. Condolences to the family.
Very sincere wishes of sympathy to your family at this time of loss. Mr. Andrick was always a kind, pleasant patron to me many years ago when I carried his mail, from 1987 to 2011. A very good man.
Just saw today where my best friends, Kathy Andrick Hogan, Dad had passed on to glory. I remember Mr Andrick fondly and his wife for their patience and love.
