I have just heard about this now. Our heartfelt condolences go out to all the Davidson kid's and grandkid's. Growing up if I wasn't at home chances are very good you would find me over on Hillside at the Davidson compound. Have alot of lifelong memories there...everything from the N Shore's first seen Toyota, to wood burning stoves, to learning how to appreciate the beauty of Bobby Hull's game! RIP ANDY!

To the Davidson Family,
My condolences to the entire family for our recent loss of Andy. I had the pleasure of working with Andy and Joy over the past twenty plus years. When I would visit them in their Lake Bluff home they were always in their glory! Happy and full of fun, they had a wood fire going in all but Summer. Summer was when they had a flower to show or birds to view. I enjoyed their company, and truly appreciated knowing them. Rest in peace.

Davidson Family: your father and mine were lifelong friends at the News-Sun. and we shared many family memories together. Me, my Dad and Andy often met at the Silo for Monday all you can eat pizza when I worked in Lake Bluff. I have fond memories of him and Joy and he’ll be missed by all. I’m sure him and Joe are sharing some memories right now.

Uncle Andrew
I still to this day remember times at your house in Lake Bluff with Grandma and the rest of the family. Those are times I will never forget. I will always cherish the times we had spent together as a family. I'm Sorry we did not get together much like we had in the past, but I have the memories. You are now back with Joy and I know this is where you wanted to be.
Rest in Peace Uncle Andrew you will be missed!

Andrew, you were my brother and we shared so many things growing up. We even shared our childhood diseases. I have so many good memories and will miss you. I know you're where you wanted to be, with Joy.

He gave me a BB gun for Christmas when I was 12, took me to my first Cubs game to see their young shortstop Ernie Banks play at Wriggley, I spent many weekends at his house in the years we lived in North Chicago, he always had jars and jars of coin, I don't think he ever spent any ( a true Scottsman ), he worked at the Waukegan New Sun from the time he was a paperboy til he retired, over 50 years, seemed he always had a least one part time job to raise his family, was knowlegable and opionated on lots of subjects and willing to share them, was a great husband, dad and grampa who cherished his family, my mothers' favorite son-in-law (at least he would argue that with the other one), he lived a great life and now can pull a few strings to get the Cubs their world series and talk about all the could have beens with Lou, Jack and that guy from the Cardinals, Harry.



My brother-in law Andy Davidson has joined his high school sweethart. Great memories and best wihes to all the family.
