Andrew Anderson


Andrew G. “Andy” Anderson Jr. of Glasgow died March 3, 2022, in Billings. He was born Aug. 11, 1936, in Medicine Lake to Andrew G. and Aashield (Rue) Anderson. The family moved to Glasgow shortly after his birth. He graduated from Glasgow High School in 1954. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and spent two years stationed at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, Calif. Following discharge, he returned to Glasgow where he met Korene Marden, and they were married the following February. He worked at Bruce’s Texaco and drove a rural school bus route for the Glasgow Public School System while Korene kept the home fires burning. In 1961, they purchased the gas station from Kenny Bruce and renamed it Andy’s Texaco, where they sold gasoline and tires. Later, they bought the local Conoco business, creating Anderson Oil Company. They expanded the business by adding bulk fuel and propane with Andy up at the crack of dawn delivering fuel, calculating bids and providing customer service while Korene did all of the bookwork. They were known for being hard workers and passed the motto of “Customer Service with a Smile” on to their family. He was proud of his Greek heritage and loved to whip up a batch of his famous garlicky “Greek Ribs” for family get-togethers. “Greeky” loved to hunt and fish with his family and buddies. There wasn’t a goose far enough away that he wouldn’t go after. He enjoyed fishing walleye tournaments and could clean and cook walleye like a pro. He was a founding member of the Glasgow Trap & Skeet Club, belonged to the Elks, Walleyes Unlimited and was a member of the Glasgow Volunteer Fire Department, retiring in 1985 after 20 years of service. He was confirmed at and was a member of the First Lutheran Church of Glasgow. He was preceded in death by his sisters, Margaret Pechonis and Carolyn Helland. He is survived by his wife, Korene; daughter, Kim Boyko of Madison, S.D.; sons, Jeff of Great Falls, Tim of Longmont, Colo., Michael of Billings; eight grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and siblings, Annette Bergan and Marilyn Helland.
