So who is Paul Andree?
Paul Andree was born in Massachusetts in 1946. He grew up in Upstate New York and lived there until 1977 when he moved to Florida. He died there 10/15/2009. Early in Junior High School Paul showed promise on the basketball court with a 98% free throw average. His hope of developing that passion into a career was cut short when he was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy at 13 years of age. What seemed a curse in his early life, became the vehicle that allowed him time to study some of the deeper things of God and ultimately led to writing Israelology. Obviously, it was a hard road that was only made easier when he recognized the Sovereignty of God and that his life had purpose.
Education
Paul loved people and he loved to learn. He saw God’s handprint in the smallest details of his daily life. It was reflected in his education.

Paul was a businessman. For almost 20 years, we ran a family business called Andree Foliage Farm. We grew indoor tropical plants which were sold throughout the eastern coast of the U.S. For many years, Paul developed and ran a biweekly truck route that ran from Florida to upstate New York.
Last but not least, Paul was a family man. He had a two daughters, 1 son and 9 grandchildren. Even though he was confined to an electric wheelchair, he would often be seen with one of his grandchildren riding around on his lap or later reading stories or watching YouTube videos with them. They all miss their “Pop Pop Paul”.
