I am so sorry to hear of Andy's passing. My first full time job was working for Andy at Missler's after graduation. He was a kind hearted man and very hard working. I would see him out and about at times and he always had a smile on his face. Your entire family will be in my thoughts and prayers!!

We first met the Misslers when they were our backyard neighbors in the 1980's. They were so nice. Andy was so dedicated to the rosary and Right to Life and always had a smile when you saw him. My condolences and prayers for you.

I worked for John his son for years & Mr Andy was always so helpful: firm & fair with a kind soul. My older brother worked for him and even as a teen I knew he went above most in how he treated his teen/ young adult employees. He will be greatly missed but his kindness while here will never leave my memory. Prayers to John & family in this time of loss.
