Please pray for the repose of the soul of Paul H. Andres, who passed away this morning, the Feast of the Ascension. Mr. Andres is the father of Christina (Deardurff ’82) and California tutor Dr. Anthony Andres (’87). He is also the grandfather of Dominique (Deardurff ’07) Martin, Benedict Deardurff (’09), Clare (Deardurff ’11) Schofield, and Joseph (’12) and Dominic Andres (’24).

May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.
Amen.
