I just now was informed of Andy’s passing.  I always bought my uniforms from him.  He was so kind and I really enjoyed having known him.  I would always get a call from Andy around this time of year to help me with my uniform allowance.  Rest In Peace Andy.  I will remember you for your patience and kindness and helpfulness.   

It still seams surreal that you're not physically here. We had so many memories from "helping" (i just watched) create a cardboard car for my kindergarten "drive-in", fishing, trips to post offices, Cincinnati, Loveland Castle, to mowing your grass every 5 days. I'll miss being able to talk to you and keep you updated on our stock. I'll miss hearing your voice mails starting with, "This is your lovable grandfather." But most importantly I'll miss you. I'll see you later alligator. Love you.


I'm saddened and sorry for the family, of the loss of Andy. I first met Andy in 1979 when I was hired at the Post Office. I believe he was the first person I talked with. He was friendly, caring, and helpful, all in his low key self. Andy never changed. I still have a copy of the Constitution he gave me. Unknowingly I missed the obituary, as I would've attended the visitation. Condolences,   
 Richard Huff.

Andy was a wonderful man that I met through dating Devon. Although I have only known him a short amount of time, I enjoyed many of his jokes over the past two years and listening to his stories. May he Rest In Peace and prayers to all of the family. 

Dear Fran,
I am  so sorry to read the notice of Andy's passing. Will always remember the fun time we had on the riverboat with our high-school reunion. Keeping you and your family in my prayer's. 
Sincerely,
Joan Haller

Dad ... You have the face of an Angel and a Soul of Gold.  You made the world a better place just by being "You".   I will continue living my life honoring you by always being honest and "doing the right thing" ... just as you did.   I always knew that you were a treasure, and I am grateful that God gave you to me as my Father.   I love and respect you infinitely deeply Dad.     Love, your adoring Daughter,  Sherry

Much has been say about Andy but one thing is for sure Andy could speak on many topics, from politics, history, and sports to name a few.  Andy was a kind soul who above all cared deeply for his family. Andy Rest In Peace and until we meet again. Your son in-law Adam

There will never be a day that goes by that I don’t miss you. From random adventures to Cincinnati, fishing trips, and doing art in the basement. You would tell me stories of your childhood and they were my favorite. Though you are gone I will forever hear your voice saying “it’s you loveable grandfather” when you called. My children and I are truly blessed to have known and loved such a wonderful man.

I’d give anything to fish with you one more time. I went to the lake where you taught me to fish today and thought of you. 
You’re the best grandpa a girl could ask for. You were tough but fair. You told me many times that you were “gonna put my head between my ears.” Took me a while to figure that one out :) 
You loved to tell jokes and were so good at making friends.  Most of the world didn’t know how talented and creative you were artistically. 
You always made me feel special and loved. So much will remind me of you. I hope you are in peace and rest assured we are all looking out for Gaga for you. 

There are so many beautiful things I could say about my dad. He was the type of man that is hard to come by these days. He was one of the good guys. My dad was a stern disciplinarian when he meant business with us kids, even though we didn't like it. But looking back as an adult, I know he just wanted the best for us. When we would leave our house, he wanted us to act right. WITH or WITHOUT him. He said, "You are representing our household and our name (The Holzinger's). "My dad was so talented. He was quite the artist, even though he did not think he was that good. Anytime someone saw his garage, they were amazed by the paintings he did on the wall. Anytime the grandkids had any type of art project to do, dad was right there to help in great detail. His ideas were always brilliant and creative! My dad always had a smile on his face and knew how to make EVERYONE feel special and always welcomed in his home. Dad was a very hard worker. He was always working to provide for his family. After retirement, dad continued to work part-time until his passing. He truly enjoyed talking to his customers and taking care of their needs. Dad was so generous with people. If he saw a need, he was right there to help. He gave to many charities, but his heart was always with Shriner's hospital since they helped my daughter. I will always miss my dad. I will miss the phone calls and him saying, "This is your loveable father." I will miss knowing I can pick up the phone to call him. So many times, I would call my dad to help with my anxiety, no matter what time of night. He often would talk to me on the phone or just sit with me, even if it was in the middle of the night. I will always appreciate my dad's love and guidance. I hope that my heart will ache a little less as each day passes. I love you, dad, and look forward to seeing you again and hearing your voice saying, "this is your lovable father."

A father-in-law that was like a father to me, a father that was easy to talk to, always had a joke, never had seen a person he wouldn't talk to, and joked about the letters of his name.

When I think back on my early years 5,6,7 your Dad I have such good memories of! He could make me laugh! I loved it if I was over and he brought fish and chips home Sherry and I would typically eat outside. I am so sorry for your loss my heart is saddened, I hope you can all find some peace and comfort in each other! 

Anyone who knew Andy, they knew he was friendly and loved to serve. As a postal worker he was a great guy and as union brother one of the best. Please accept my condolences. 

I remember Andy as a guy who loved his family and loved to laugh.  On several occasions, I had the opportunity to watch Andy and Fran dancing.  They were so smooth and so in sync, I just loved it and wanted to take lessons from them!  Someday when we're all together in paradise, Jehovah willing,  I could become a perfect dancer because I'll be taught by a perfect couple!
Much love to you, Fran, and your family.            

I worked with Andy in the 90's.  He was a really good guy.  What I remember most about him was his positivity, always friendly and willing to help others.  I have nothing but positive thoughts about him.    RIP Andy.

Andy was always so wonderful to me, will miss him dearly, Andy , ken , and Mike were like brothers to my dad. So many happy stories were shared to me as I was growing up.

I remember fondly how beautiful Andy and Fran danced at our wedding. A memory I will never forget. Sleep for now Andy the resurrection hope is sure. (John 5:28&29)

Love,
Derick and Paula Simmons

Andy was a wonderful person. I knew him when I worked at the post office before I even knew he was married to Fran. Lol He was very kind and I look forward to seeing him when he’s resurrected. My love and prayers are with you all. 

Andy was my uniform representative for 19 years. He was so talkative and had so many stories! The last time I saw him (about a month ago) he told me of his family’s tradition of being in the coast guard and he urged my son to check into it. He was so proud. I wish I could sit down with him and hear more stories. He was a wonderful man! Christina
