Andrew served in the US Army during WWII and was awarded the WWII victory medal. He worked at Bethlehem Steel Mill in Johnstown, PA for many years, before retiring in 1982. After his retirement from Bethlehem Steel Mill, he worked at Ickes Apple Orchard helping Fred with many daily tasks. In his later years, he could be found hanging out at Don Williams Garage, in Bedford PA. He was also a member of Yeager Lutheran Church in Rainsburg, PA.

Andrew enjoyed visiting and talking to people. He never met a person that he couldn't talk to. He also enjoyed going to Mardi Gras, in Mobile, AL where he enjoyed watching the parades and even riding on the floats.

On behalf of the Miller and Haney families we would like to extend our sincere thanks to Annie Free of Mobile AL and the Gentiva Hospice of Mobile, AL for the outstanding care and support that they provided for Andrew (Pap) in his last few months of life. We would also like to thank Radney Funeral Home, in Mobile, AL. for taking care of his funeral arrangements.

A celebration of life will be held, at a later date, in his hometown of Bedford, PA.

Memorial contributions may be made in Andrew's name to Yeager Lutheran Church care of Gerald Conway, 134 Karns Road, Bedford, PA 15522.
