Dennis Daniel Andrus Sr., 81, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Dec. 14, 2007. Dennis was born Feb. 14, 1926, to Robert Patrick and Mary Ann (Shields) Andrus. He served in the Navy during WW II and returned to marry the love of his life, Shirley Jean Orr, on April 10, 1947. They moved to Olympia, Wash., where he worked as a longshoreman in the shipyards for several years. They returned to the Orr family ranch in Skull Valley in 1964 where they enjoyed many wonderful years together raising their family and working the ranch.
Dennis enjoyed the friendships he made in the Cattleman and Lincoln Highway Association and his circle of friends grew with everyone he met over the years.
He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Gladys; and daughter-in-law, Sandra (Robert). He is survived by his loving wife, Shirley; three sons, Daniel, Robert and Rusty; daughters-in-law, Jackie (Dan) and Amanda (Rusty); five grandchildren, Derek, Brett, Matt, Katie and Kinsey; four great-grandchildren, Shane, Sam, Jordyn and Cru.
He will leave a large hole in our hearts that we will fill with memories of him -- of his love for us and of life, and of all the fun times he gave us.
Family graveside service and interment were Tuesday, Dec. 18, at the Grantsville City Cemetery. A memorial service is planned for Dec. 29. Final arrangements are pending and will be published in the Transcript-Bulletin shortly.
