Andrew Charles Wysmuller, age 73, of Charlotte, known as “Andy” to friends and family passed away on January 7th, 2021, from coronavirus, leaving behind a very full life of funny memories, laughter, and love.
Born in Holland,1947, Andy was raised in Bayside, Queens, New York. He met his beautiful wife, Ellen, during their college years in Vermont. Andy served in the United States Army Reserve for 26 years while simultaneously working a variety of different jobs in teaching, insurance, management and animal behavior.
Humor was an intrinsic part of Andy. He was always quick with a joke, smile, or laugh and brought so much happiness to all who surrounded him. If smiles were his currency, he would be a very rich man.
Andy is survived by his wife, Ellen; his children, Steven Wysmuller (Lauren) and Jennifer Bernstein; his grandchildren, Ben, Nina, and Samara Wysmuller and Evie Bernstein; his brothers, Tom and Allan Wysmuller; and niece and nephews.
A lifelong lover of animals, Andy volunteered at Animal Care and Control.
A private memorial service will take place on Sunday, January 10th.
