J. William Andrews: A Short Biography
Born on 9 April 1931 in Milltown, NB, Bill Andrews graduated from Milltown High School in 1948 and enrolled at UNB, where he earned a BA, First-Class Honours, in Economics in 1952. As a student, he participated in the Debating Club and the Student Christian Movement.
A very private individual, he was a life-long employee of CIL/ICI/PCI in Montreal where he worked as an accountant. He was a regular but modest donor to his alma mater over the years, indicating he wished to have no recognition.
He died on 27 January 2005 at age 73, apparently of cancer, leaving 25 per cent of his estate to the University of New Brunswick. His bequest to UNB exceeded $3 million.
