Thursday evening, a great man was lost. John F. Andrews was killed in a car accident involving the suspect of a robbery and auto theft. He was the vice principal of Queen Anne's County High School and held the state record for longest serving vice principal. He has seen countless students graduate and has served as a father figure to many. He will be greatly missed. I am a student at the school right now, and he played a big part in our lives. Even though a lot of people say they dislike him, we ALL loved him at heart. We could cut up and make jokes with him, he knew our families, having seen them graduate. He knew my father and uncles very well (they got in trouble a lot, but he stuck with them and helped guide them). He played a key role in integration of schools and served as a role model to african american students. He has been in the educational system for 47 years, with no intention of retiring. He died at the age of 71, but his legacy will forever keep him alive. Don't let him be remembered by how he died, but by how he lived. R.I.P. John F. Andrews, you will be greatly missed. I'm almost in tears writing this, I hope that shows you how important this man was to so many people. My mother called me to tell me at work, she couldn't. Then she called my father a half hour later to try and tell him without crying. She finally did, and I was devastated when I found out.

Sounds like a great man. Very sorry for your (and everyone else's) loss.

RIP! Sorry for your(and the families loss)






I hope that BLANK that hit him rotts in H E doublehockeysticks.

 

sick and twisted thing is that, when the cops took the suspect out of the car, he was laughing. everyone at the scene knew him, it was a sad day for queen anne's county. thanks for the support guys

 

He was laughing?

I would have stomped a mudhole in his face right there on site for something like that.

Hopefully karma will come back around when that slimeball is put in prison, and pay him back ten fold.

 

hes on $1 million bond, and hes been charged with vehicular manslaughter and theft. im sure cops had to be posted around the scene to stop the witnesses from lashing out against the suspect. every original shoreman from queen anne's county that went to qachs knew Mr. Andrews, hes been there since the old high school where the board of ed is now and hes been at the new one since its been built in 67 (I think it was 67)

 

School starts tomorrow, this is gonna be hard
