In memory
Andrew Mallory passed away peacefully at home in Littleton, Colo., on May 2, 2023, after a battle with Alzheimer’s. Drew was born in Philadelphia and is survived by his wife, Jan; his children, Mark (Nancy), Becky (Bobby) and Julie (Matt); and seven grandchildren, along with his brother, Joe (Wendy).
At Amherst, Drew played basketball and was a two-time All-American soccer player and winner of the Howard Hill Mossman trophy as well as president of the Chi Psi fraternity. He earned his medical degree from Harvard Medical School in 1965 and practiced as a gastroenterologist for 35 years. Amidst many awards for the care of his patients and for teaching, he was known as a kind, honest man with a gentle spirit, always maintaining a deep sense of humility. Drew was happily reunited with Amherst when his son, Mark ’93, attended. Much to their dismay, in the following years, Drew’s younger children, Becky and Julie, chose to go to Williams!
Drew’s close friend Jim Noyes ’61 shared that Drew captained their soccer team, the only undefeated team in school history until the Justin Serpone era. He remembers Trinity had an All-American forward, Alex Guild. “Drew shut him down, and we went on to win the game, upsetting the number-one team in the country. He was a gentleman and a scholar.” Another friend, Ken Ratzan ’61, was close with Drew at Amherst, roomed with him in medical school and worked with him at the CDC. He loved Drew’s humility, his integrity and his dry, understated sense of humor.
Drew was a devoted husband to Jan, who provided him with love and companionship throughout their 55 years together. He was also a dedicated father and grandfather, who encouraged intellectual curiosity and treating others with respect. He will be greatly missed.
