PHILIP ANDREWS Obituary

ANDREWS--Philip Jon. Philip Jon Andrews died peacefully in his sleep on April 12, 2020. He is survived by his daughters, Katherine and Elizabeth; his son, John; his grandchildren, Maggie, Calla, Philip, and Ava; as well as his relatives and friends across the globe. His beloved wife, Eva Cecilia, predeceased him in 2018. An only child born to Greek immigrants, Phil graduated from Milton Academy and went on to receive his undergraduate degree from Harvard College and his medical degree from Boston University School of Medicine. He also studied the history of medicine at Johns Hopkins University. During the Vietnam War, Phil served as a physician in the United States Navy, stationed in Taipei, Taiwan. In addition to his distinguished career as chief of radiology at Cambridge City Hospital and Harvard Community Health Plan, Phil passionately pursued myriad interests--chief among them, wine making. He was a vibrant soul, with the gift of fierce intellectual curiosity and a talent for deep friendship. A memorial service will be held in Phil's honor in the months to come.

Phil was a dear friend to my parents, and had gone on an expedition to Greece with my father to find our relatives. It was an adventure that is still talked about today in the kafeneio in Fichtia, Peloponnese. Phil was warm and kind-hearted. My father, Evan, loved Phil and enjoyed his active, curious mind. ....

Deeply saddened. Phil was a lifelong friend, a brother. His life was one to celebrate, full and joyful. His accomplishments were many, not the least of which are Kakhi, Ia and John -- through whom he remains with us. An inspiration through the sorrow of his loss.
