Personal Life
Bill Andrews married twice, firstly to Joan in 1933 and then to Ennyd in 1947. He had a son Michael (born 1936) from his first marriage who committed suicide in 1977. There were two children from his second marriage: Mark and Sara.
According to David Foot, Andrews was a manic-depressive. There had been a family history of mental problems with his father spending time in a mental hospital.
He died in January 1989 and was cremated in Weston-super-Mare. Whereas many cricketers have died in obscurity Andrews's death was just the opposite. He was something of a local celebrity and his cremation was well attended and reported in the local newspapers.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“The child realizes to every man his own earliest remembrance, and so supplies a defect in our education, or enables us to live over the unconscious history with a sympathy so tender as to be almost personal experience.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“we are laid asleep
In body, and become a living soul:
While with an eye made quiet by the power
Of harmony, and the deep power of joy,
We see into the life of things.”
