Andrews Jr. worked as a general surgeon at Tuomey Hospital for 35 years and also served as the Sumter High School football team's doctor for 23 years. PHOTO PROVIDED Posted: Saturday, July 26, 2014 12:00 am BY ROB COTTINGHAM ROB@THEITEM.COM (803) 774-1225 While he passed away last week at the age of 95, Dr. Charles "Charlie" H. Andrews Jr. filled his years with one of the most eventful lives anyone could imagine. A graduate of Wofford College and later the Medical College of South Carolina in Charleston, Andrews proudly served in World War II as a physician, working at a French hospital as part of the France Belgium Medical Corps and later on as part of the Austria Army of Occupation. After his overseas adventures, Andrews eventually returned to Sumter in 1951, where he would raise his family while working at Tuomey Hospital as a general surgeon for 35 years. The fibers within his passion for his work and love for his family wove a delicate fabric that his daughter, Sandy Noonan, adored growing up. "We're a medical family, and we always have been," Sandy said. "His father was a doctor. He was a doctor. My mom and I are nurses. My daughter is a nurse, and my son is a dentist. We all grew up watching him do his work, and that inspired us to follow in his steps, in a way." Sandy said she remembers accompanying her father on house calls when she was just a little girl. "That was back when doctors were on call for a month instead of just a week," she said. "I used to go with him all the time. I loved it." The eldest of Andrews' living children, Sandy said another thing that people would tell you about her father is that he was opinionated and somewhat immovable on certain subjects. "I can't remember who told me," she recalled, "but someone once said, 'If you have a choice between running into a brick wall or getting into an argument with Charlie Andrews, just go ahead and choose the brick wall.'" Aside from his family and practicing medicine, Andrews had two interests for which his passion was notorious - the great outdoors and Sumter High School football. His son, Charles "Chuck" Andrews III, said he made sure to incorporate the family in his outdoor adventures. "My dad always had a philosophy of playing as hard as you work, and anyone will tell you he worked really hard," Chuck said, "so he played really hard. When he had free time, you could pretty much count on nothing coming between him and being outside, and he always took us along." The lessons learned while hunting and fishing with his dad are very dear to Chuck, who said they helped shape him as a person. "More than the individual talks and words of wisdom, he taught me a code of conduct," Chuck said. "There were rules and laws to follow, and he always emphasized their importance. The impact all those trips had on me ... you can't put a value on memories like that." As for Dr. Andrews' passion for football, it wasn't too far disconnected from his profession. Andrews served as the team doctor for Sumter High School football and rarely missed a game, according to his daughter. "I think he only missed two games in his 23 years as the team's doctor," Sandy said, laughing. "He loved it. One of those times, he got held up by a long surgery, so he had his nurse listening to the game on the radio and giving him updates as he continued the surgery." Sandy's husband, former Sumter County Administrator Bill Noonan, was the head coach of Sumter High's football team from 1971-75 after serving as an assistant coach for many years. Noonan worked with Andrews along the sidelines for quite some time and said he had many memories to recall. "It was always comforting to have him on the sidelines," Noonan said. "He was so dedicated to the players and the game. If someone got hurt, he'd escort them to the hospital. He was a man of few words, but he really cared. If someone got hurt, and it looked like they needed to go to the hospital, he'd say, 'Well, looks like we've got to go to town.' He'd stay with them until they got the care they needed and the parents got there. He had a love for the game and the players." For his longtime service as the team doctor, Andrews was inducted into the local sports hall of fame. Noonan also said that Andrews was very proud of the Edwin Boyle Santee Summer Ministry, of which Andrews was a founding member. The organization was tailored to those vacationing along the lakes, with folks arriving by boat, car, golf cart or foot. "They'd meet every Sunday from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day," he said. "He loved every bit of that. It went from having a handful of people on that first Sunday to having 500." Despite his passing, Andrews will undoubtedly live on through those who had the pleasure of knowing him. "He stood for many things," Sandy said, "things that we hope to see in our own children and theirs." - Rob Cottingham [2, 6, 7, 8, 9] | |
