Frank Steve Andris

        Frank Steve Andris, age 90, passed away peacefully on Friday, September 20, 2024. He was born in Barberton, Ohio and was a lifelong resident.
     Frank was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He loved watching his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren in various sports and activities, and was always a proud supporter.  Frank and Eleanor’s house was the center of countless gatherings and everyone always went away feeling well fed and loved.
     He approached life with enthusiasm and knew how to have fun.  You could always count on him to be up and dancing when “Old Time Rock and Roll” started playing, and he would dance with anyone who was willing. In quieter times, he enjoyed gardening, a good game of euchre, or a day of fishing on the lake.  He was also a huge fan of the Buckeyes, the Steelers, and the Cleveland Indians.
     He had a great sense of humor, and will be remembered for his classic catchphrases; anyone who knew him could recite his two favorite responses to the question “how are you?”
     He was a dedicated, hard worker and taught his family how to persevere through tough times.  He left high school to enlist in the Marine Corps, where he served as a mechanic on an aircraft carrier during the Korean War. Later, he worked for many years at Rondy Inc. and retired as Vice President.
     He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 67 years, Eleanor; his son Joseph (“Fuzz” as Frank lovingly called him), his parents, and his brother, Joe.
     He is survived by his children, Pam (Ron) Jacobs, Frank Andris, and Helen (John) Thomas, daughter-in-law Nicole Andris; grandchildren, Jennifer (Tim) Sullivan, Julie (Adam) Smith, Michelle Jacobs, Jeffrey Thomas, Nicole (Joshua) Richardson, and Emily (fiance Caleb) Jacobs; great grandchildren, Timothy, Isaac, and John Sullivan, Sarah and Anna Smith, and Judah Richardson; sister and brother-in-law Mary Ann and Gene Pusen; sisters-in-law Leona Rennie and Cathy Andris, along with many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
