Andy was solid friends with RFK and Ethel. He solemnly sang "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" at Bobbie's funeral in 1968. He has been one of the aged Ethel's closest friends up till the present.
However, he's a lifelong Republican and accused Obama of "following Marxist theory" among other arrows he has shot at the Usurper.
There were four singing Williams brothers, Bob, Don, Dick and Andy. I tried really hard to track down if the other brothers were still living, but no success. All I found was that of 2000 all four were still breathing. Maybe someone has the answer to that question.

That’s too bad. I saw a lot of Andy Williams as a teenager on TV, on variety-show specials and so forth. I probably wouldn’t like his kind of music if I hadn’t heard it from him first.

Bob is deceased, think the others are still alive

My favorite lyrics:
I touch her hand . . . she’s always there.
From the song “She’ll be there.”
What a touching song, and it has special significance for me.

No, the title is “Where do I begin.”
Love that song, listening to it now.

Free Republic has had a lot of celebrity deaths listed today and they are all older than dirt....makes my 73 years seem like a teenagers.

That’s a shame. Prayers that his suffering will be eased.
I caught his show in Branson with Petula Clark back in 2005. I was (at 31) the youngest person in the audience !

“I was (at 31) the youngest person in the audience !”
Most likely by at least a generation.
