Andrew "Wilty" Wiltberger

• Andrew “Wilty” Wiltberger, age 46, died unexpectedly at his home on October, 17, 2011. Andy was a 1983 graduate of Upper Arlington High School where he participated in football and wrestling. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Ohio University, where he was a member of Beta Theta Pi, and then came back to Upper Arlington, a place he loved to call home. He was a member of the National Association of Realtors, Ohio Association of Realtors, and Columbus Board of Realtors. He was licensed with Prudential Calhoon Realtors since 1989 and also worked with the Plahuta Appraisal Group. He gave of himself in so many ways; as a wrestling coach, an Upper Arlington youth football coach (for 10+ years) and a totally “hands on” dad and uncle. His family was his top priority. Andy is survived by the love of his life, Julie “Bit” (Schuman) Wiltberger. He was her rock. He was an awesome dad to Jason and Ben… always so proud and supportive. Andy was preceded in death by his father, James B. Wiltberger. He will be deeply missed by his mother, Barbara Baas Wiltberger; sisters, Beth (Doug) Wiltberger Ullum and Jean (Jeff) Wiltberger Drake; father-in-law and mother-in-law, John R. and Gail E. Schuman; brother-in-law, John D. (Ann-Margaret) Schuman; sister-in-law, Christa (Brent) Callihan. Nieces and nephews, who knew they could always count on their Uncle Andy, include: Nick and Samantha Ullum, Kristen and Kevin Drake, John, Nicholas and Jamie Schuman and Ian Callihan. Also survived by cousins, Bill (Cassie) Wiltberger and Jill (Kenneth) Wiltberger; other family, and good friends. He was a part of the tennis team at The Swim and Racquet Club. Andy was a best friend to everybody.
