Andrew served in WWII in the 5th Armored Tank Division of the Army during the European occupation. He participated in Numerous Veterans Day and Memorial Day parades in Stuart in his beloved 1941 Packard.
He loved to listen and dance to polkas with his bride, Dottie, and continue to do so in heaven as they are reunited once again. They also shared an interest Civil War history and visited many battlefields and historic sites plus had a large collection of Civil War book and relics. They also shared a common interest of electric trains having one entire room in the house dedicated to a train display. He also loved to read about WWII and had a large collection of books but never found a picture of himself in one.
Well, loved, the life of every party and always had a joke to tell. He will be truly missed by all until we meet at the Eastern Gate.
