Andy absolutely adored his grandchildren. He took great pleasure in teasing and tormenting them and even greater pleasure bragging about them. When he wasn’t busy with the grandkids, Andy enjoyed being outdoors rabbit, squirrel and deer hunting and loved to go fishing. According to the family, he was particular about the lawn and not only took care of his, but several of his neighbors. He had a sweet tooth that included blackberry cobbler and strawberry shortcake among his favorites, but would have to cut back on the sweets in recent years. Andy liked the T.V. show Duck Dynasty and was a big fan of NHRA Drag Racing, the Little League World Series and college football. Other pleasures included working crossword puzzles and a good cigar.Andy is survived by his wife Carol; daughter Shannon Spurlock of Batesville; brother Larry of North Vernon and four grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his parents. Visitation is Tuesday, September 17th, from 4 – 7 p.m. at the funeral home. Funeral services are 10 a.m. Wednesday, September 18th, at Holy Family Church in Oldenburg with Rev. David Kobak officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery. The family requests memorials to Hospice of Margaret Mary Health or the American Heart Association.
