Andrew Lee Conderman

Andy Conderman age 64 of Amboy died Friday, September 4, 2015, due to injuries received in an automobile accident. He was born February 27, 1951 in Amboy, IL. He was the son of Weldon "Dutch" and Dorothy (Stouffer) Conderman of Amboy. Andy married his high school sweetheart, Vicki Mitchell, May 28, 1971 in Aledo, IL. He worked for the Illinois Department of Transportation for 39 years prior to his "retirement" in 2010. For the last five years he had been working as a consultant to IDOT for private contractors. Andy was a member of the Army Reserves and the Illinois National Guard for 23 years. He was also a member of the Amboy American Legion Post, and the Illinois Central Masonic Lodge #178 of Amboy. Andy was a true life-long learner and Renaissance man. His hobbies included but were not limited to hunting, fishing, rock collecting, Native American artifact collecting, astronomy, archeology, and gardening. He was a home-brew master, baker, cook, historian, prairie plant seed harvester, photographer and so on. His thirst for knowledge was contagious and it rubbed off on virtually everyone he met. He never met a stranger, and had a way of making people feel important. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandpa who would drop everything to take care and be there for his family and friends. He had a knack for being in the right place at the right time to help out many strangers in need. He is survived by his wife and four sons; Chris (Kim) Conderman of Dixon, Craig (Carmon) Conderman of Byron, Corey (Meghan) Conderman of Dixon, and Chad (Jennifer) Conderman of Dixon. He is also survived by ten grandchildren; Collin, Carter, Emily, Carson, Kaitlyn, Aaron, Dylan, Grace, Aubrey and Hailey. He is also survived by one sister Alice (Charlie) Austin of Amboy.
