Michael J. "Mike" McAndrews

Mike was a fixture of my childhood growing up in Manhattan Beach. He was one of my Dad's best friends from the Sheriffs department and I can still recall his jovial, warm and friendly demeanor. He was by far my favorite of all my Dad's friends! I was one of the flower girls at his wedding to Deece! And we were all so happy when he met and married Deece! My Dad went to law school he said because "He just couldn't let Mike have more education than he had." Haha! Thankfully my son got to...

To put it succinctly, Mike was an unforgettable character. I worked with him on two occasions while with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department - once when he was my watch commander at Men's Central Jail, and once at the Recruit Training Bureau. His intelligence, honesty and extraordinary, (almost mystical), levels of wisdom made him something special.

Mike loved running, and going for an evening six mile run with him was like attending a class in philosophy, law enforcement...

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

I remember Mike so well from my years in CT. He was a wonderful human being, a man of integrity, faith, humor and love and I am very sad to learn of his death.
My love, thoughts and prayers go out to Diane, Julianne, Joe and all who loved and will miss Mike.
