Daniel Andrews (1948–2020), a longtime resident of Woodside, passed away in 2020 following a distinguished career as a political reporter and press secretary. He spent over 25 years as a dedicated civil servant, notably serving as the press secretary and public information officer for Queens Borough Presidents Claire Shulman and Helen Marshall. Throughout his tenure, he remained deeply devoted to both his family and the people of Queens.

Andrews was an active member of the Silurians Press Club, the New York Press Club, and the Narrowbacks. For 20 years, he served as the program director for the Inner Circle organization, where he raised significant funds for local charities. His contributions to the city were further recognized by his appointment as an Honorary Battalion Chief of the FDNY. A faithful parishioner at Corpus Christi Church, he frequently volunteered for bingo nights, door-to-door fundraisers, and various parish events. Additionally, he dedicated his time to the Soul of the Peruvian Andes, a charity providing essential healthcare to impoverished communities in the Andean region.
