Andrews, 96, Norfolk, will be 10:30 a.m., Wednesday, September 21, 2016 at Grace Lutheran Church in Norfolk. Reverend Ray Wilke and Reverend Christopher Asbury will officiate. Burial will be at Prospect Hill Cemetery in Norfolk. Visitation will be Tuesday from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Home for Funerals. He passed away Thursday, September 15, 2016 at the Countryside Home in Madison, Nebraska where he had been living since October 2015. Born May 5, 1920 in Brush, Colorado, Clayton was the son of A.R. and Alma (Zachert) Andrews. The family moved to Norfolk when Clayton was an infant. He was a graduate of Norfolk Senior High School and attended Wayne State College where he met and fell in love with a lovely and bright young woman from Wakefield, Vivian Felt. He enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II, serving from 1942 to 1946 as a test officer and operational trouble shooter, and attained the rank of Major. He was stationed for several years at Eglin Air Base in Pensacola, Florida, where Vivian joined him when they were married in 1943. After the war, they returned to Norfolk and raised two daughters, Jean and Jane. Clayton was just 14 when he started helping his father, A.R. Andrews, hauling baggage and packages from the Chicago and North Western depot in south Norfolk to businesses downtown. He rejoined the company after the war. He worked in every aspect of the business, including moving household goods, working in the warehouse, driving trucks, crating furniture, overhauling trucks, and working in the office. Inspired by a vision, he expanded the family business into an international moving company, Andrews Van Lines, which operates in fifty states and twenty one foreign countries. He was the president of the Nebraska Motor Carriers’ Association, president of the Movers’ and Warehousemen’s Association of America and received many awards for his service to the industry. He was happy to have kept the business in Norfolk and attributed its success to the loyalty and hard work of his employees. He valued their devotion, as well as their friendship. He was actively involved in Andrews Van Lines until he sold it in 2013. Clayton always had an interest in helping to develop his hometown. He was one of the founders of Bank First and a member of its Board of Directors. He served as chairman of the Norfolk Airport Authority for thirteen years and served on the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce. He contributed to the development of Faith Regional Health Services and Grace Lutheran Church, of which he was a lifetime member. He was especially enthusiastic about being part of the founding and development of Lutheran High Northeast. At the age of 72, Clayton welcomed the opportunity to cofound Orphan Grain Train, a Christian volunteer non-profit organization that ships relief goods to needy countries as well as serving disaster areas in the United States. Using his transportation and leadership skills as vice president / CEO, he helped to grow Orphan Grain Train from one facility in Norfolk to nineteen satellites across the country. He often said that he had been exceptionally blessed in his life and that his work with Orphan Grain Train was his way of giving back and helping others. Until the age 95, he would be found every day in coat and tie working in his office. Clayton was named Outstanding Citizen of Norfolk in 1993. In 2001, he was honored for his outstanding volunteer work at Orphan Grain Train with the Aquila Award from Concordia Publishing House. He was inducted into the Nebraska Business Hall of Fame by the State Chamber of Commerce in 2011. He was awarded the Lifetime Philanthropist Award by the Philanthropy Council of Northeast Nebraska in 2013. Although Clayton insisted that he didn’t have time for hobbies, he kept himself busy with travel (especially in his motorhome), collecting antique cars and trucks, raising and showing horses, collecting and selling antique china and glass, flying small aircraft, and enjoying the family acreage outside of Norfolk. Through the years, family and friends would frequently notice that he seemed to be day dreaming, but they learned that he was always thinking about a new project. In Clayton’s opinion, his life was ending too soon, as he had more enterprises and many adventures to come. Clayton is survived his two daughters and their spouses, Jean and Michael Kaliner of Bethesda, MD and Jane and Jess Graber of Aspen, CO, five grandchildren Aaron (Michaela) Kaliner, Matthew (Melissa) Kaliner, Leslie (Sean) Santa, Annie Graber and Megan Graber, three great grandchildren Quinn and Declan Kaliner and Micah Santa, three sisters-in-law, Lorraine Hitz and Lavonne Felt both of Wakefield, and Lois Felt of Denver, CO, numerous nieces and nephews and many friends. He was preceded in death by his wife, Vivian, in 2002 and an infant daughter."
