John Welby (Jay) Andrews

Rincon-John Welby (Jay) Andrews, died March 25, 2010, after a short illness.
Jay was born March 2, 1963, in Savannah, and overcame many difficulties, beginning
with Spina Bifida. Despite more surgeries than can be recalled, he never let his physical
limitations limit his possibilities. Making lemonade from lemons, Jay and his wife, the
former Lynell Arnsdorff, founded Personal Disability-Voice Chat to provide a forum and
resource for those physically or mentally challenged by disease or illness.
Starting from scratch, they built a computer network and server that grew to thousands of
participants nationwide, recently achieving IRC 501(c)(3) status, enabling many to get
information and inspiration from a committed couple who have borne life's difficulties
with a smile, a laugh or a hug in the face of every adversity.
In addition to his wife Lynell, Jay is survived by his parents Pam & Doug Andrews of
Savannah, and Johnny & Peggy McCoy of Pooler, his sister Kathy (& Randy) Dutson and
his brother Doug (& Amber) Andrews II, nieces Meagan and Amber Dutson, and nephew
Randy Dutson II, and their beloved pups Chipper and Lilly. Jay was predeceased by his
maternal grandparents Kathleen & Rowland Knight of Lancashire, England, and paternal
grandparents Ray & Laura McCoy of Pooler.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Georgia Animal Rescue and Defense
(www.GARDonline.org) in memory of Jay, who cared about the welfare of animals and
urged spaying and neutering to avoid unwanted pets.
The family will visit with friends and family at Strickland & Sons Funeral Home, Rincon,
Georgia on Saturday March 27, 2010, from 2 to 3 p.m. with funeral service following at 3
