Born November 7, 1938 in Washington, Okla., he was the second of 10 children born to Joel “Wolf” Andrews and Gracie (Madden) Andrews. He was raised in Washington and attended school there.
Albert married the love of his life, Doris Jean Dover on June 20, 1954 in Purcell. Albert worked for Burns Mill for many years, and as a welder at Star Manufacturing. He then worked for the Department of Corrections for both LARC and Joseph Harp, retiring after more than 22 years of combined service.
Albert also hauled a lot of hay in the summers, and enjoyed raising cows his whole life. He enjoyed listening to music and especially a good Hank Williams song. He was a wonderful father and grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle and a true friend. He will be dearly missed!
