Jim "Jamie" Andrews
1934 - 2024
Condolences
To the family of Jamie Andrews- Mike and Leslie Schrier are sending our sincere condolences to Jamie's family especially to his brother Art. Mike became reacquainted with Jamie when I was appointed to a tenure track position in the CoE some 35 years ago. Mike enjoyed standing around and visiting with Jaime during a few of the tennis matches Mike attended while waiting for me to finish office hours. They shared many a fine moment of their times with Dr. Klotz, matches and hitting balls with Art. I personally was glad of his professional mentorship and his insistance that I join AAUP and still treasure the note he sent me when I received tenure. May his memory be a treasure and a comfort to you all. Sincerely, Mike and Leslie Schrier
We lived across the street from the Andrews for almost 30 years and can attest to the fact that they were wonderfel neighbors. When I think of Jim, I see him working on the house or in his yard, which he kept meticulously maintained. He was always happy to chat and gave us lots of ideas on how to tame our sometimes unmanageable yard (his unusual solution for dealing with moles was one we chose not to follow, however). I took Jim and Barb a plate of Christmas cookies every year, and Jim always seems particularly pleased to receive them. The last time we were in Iowa City, we made a point of stopping by to see him and Barb at Briarwood. We're so sorry to learn of Jim's passing. He was a wonderful person and I'm sure will be missed by many.
I remember Prof Andrews being very attentive and helpful, even when I first came to Iowa from Japan and my English was not good enough. Although my time with him in Iowa was short, I remember his wonderful personality, his easy to understand lectures, and playing tennis with him. My sincere condolences to his family.
I knew Jim since 1987 when I arrived at Iowa as a new assistant professor in Exercise Science. We participated in many enjoyable discussions related to biomechanics and research and I also enjoyed social events with jim, other faculty (especially his long time collaborator Jim Hay), family and biomechanics graduate students. I also remember visiting Jim after his stroke. My sincere condolences to Jim's family.
We lived two doors down from Jim on Melrose Circle and it was always such a joy to meet him and talk with him. I believe there were hydrangeas on the side of the house that I always admired, and he took really good care of them. I admired his athleticism and vigor. Condolences to your family.
Our family moved onto Melrose Circle in 2009. Jim was a wonderful neighbor. He welcomed our family and was always so kind and fun to talk with. He had great knowledge about the history of our special little neighborhood, and it was so interesting hearing stories about him growing up on the Circle. My thoughts and prayers are with Jim's family.
Introduced to Jamie by my wife Sarah, he invited me to play tennis.In less than one minute, it was obvious I did not belong on the same court with him. Sarah and Barbara were classmates, and before her decline, we spent good times at their house. Jamie and Barbara deserved better from life. Paul Helt
Whenever I saw Jim on the tennis courts years ago he was always kind and friendly to me even though he was a superior player to me. I haven't seen him for awhile now but will miss him even more knowing I will never see him again.
