Joseph Andrules Obituary

Joseph John Andrules

We’re heartbroken to share that Joseph John Andrules left us on July 28, 2025, while visiting in the Northwoods of Vilas County Wisconsin. Born on December 21, 1952, John loved the Land O' Lakes, WI area more than anywhere else on earth and vacationed there on Forest Lake for almost 70 years. He loved staying at the family's little red cabin and could always be found fishing out on the area lakes. John spent the better part of forty years as a store manager for Sears in the Chicago suburbs before his retirement in 2015.

He leaves behind his children, Jennifer Andrules of Woodstock, IL and Jacob Andrules of Phoenix, AZ; four siblings, Annette Keating of Lindenhurst, IL, Margaret Bakanec of Lake Villa, IL, Bill (Peg) Andrules of Wellington, FL and Bob (Maureen) Andrules of Streamwood, IL. Survivors also include one cousin, Alan Olson of Gurnee; IL four nieces, Kathy Keating of Lindenhurst, IL, Jamie Andrules of Longmont, CO, Carie (Mark) Nordine of Land O' Lakes, WI, Jackie Banks of Chicago, IL; four nephews, Kevin Keating of Whitewater, WI, Tony Andrules of Normal, IL, Ryan (Alyson) Andrules of Geneva, IL and Russell (Crystal) Andrules of Aurora, IL. John is also survived by three great-nephews and one great-niece.

A private family service will be held.
