son, 87, passed away

Our Lord on March 13,

2021.

Adrian (Andy) was born

February 7, 1934 to

Eleanor and Adolph

Anderson in Kenmare,

North Dakota. He was the

eldest of six children.

Throughout his youth, he

helped his father farm the

land until school started

in the fall. He also worked

at the Gas station and Tire

shop in Kenmare.

Adrian received his

education in Kenmare,

North Dakota. He played

football for Kenmare High

School. In 1951, when he

was a junior in high

school, Andy was

crowned Homecoming

King. This was a highlight

of his high school days.

Adrian was united in

marriage to Janette Elaine

Leholm and together they

had five children. Adrian

served in the Army from

April 1957 to April 1963.

After being stationed in

Killeen, Texas they re-

turned to Tioga, North

Dakota to make their

home.

Adrian worked at

Amerada Hess for several

years. He moved his fami-

ly to a farm north of Tioga

where he raised cattle. In

1968 the family moved to

Stanley, North Dakota.

Adrian was a self-taught

Master Electrician and

started his own business,

First Electric. Working

was his passion. Andy en-

joyed doing electrical

work and had many cus-

tomers throughout the

years in the Tioga, Stan-

ley, and Powers Lake area.

He was never able to say

“no” to those in need of

electrical work and was

still working at the age of

87.

Andy was an integral

part of his community.

Every day he could be

found at the local cafe en-

joying his breakfast and

coffee and visiting with

friends. He loved driving

his pickup up and down

all the area roads. He

loved to watch the coun-

tryside change from sea-
