James F. Andrews

On January 12, 2018, Jim Moose Andrews lost his courageous battle with diabetes, heart disease, multiple strokes, seizures, and renal failure. He lived his final 2 years at CCNH where he received loving care, accurate medications, and a clean, safe environment. Jim was born July 8, 1963 to Maurice and Marie L. Andrews. He graduated from Gorham High School in 1981, serving as Senior Class President. He loved working in the woods, eventually having his own trucking company, JD Transport. In tough times, he would haul Christmas trees and carnival rides all over. He later worked for Ramsay Trucking and Ingerson Transportation. His network of friends and colleagues were like family. Jim loved tinkering in the garage, going to truck shows in Vegas, traveling to NASCAR races, and camping at OOB. The shining star of his life was his son Cody, of whom he was extremely proud.
