Obituary for Andrew A.E. "Andy" Weyershaeuser
ANDREW A. E. WEYERSHAEUSER, a US Army Korean War Veteran awarded the Purple Heart and Combat Infantryman’s Badge, passed away peacefully on December 2, 2020 at the age of 88 years. Devoted husband to Regina (nee Keller). Loving father to Andrew J. Weyershaeuser and his wife, the late Heidi; and the late Kurt Weyershaeuser. Beloved grandfather to Danielle Towers (James), Andrew R. Weyershaeuser (Tessa), Fallon Merrigan, and Gabriel Weyershaeuser. Cherished great grandfather to Joseph, Lola and Max. Dear brother of Uta Hahn (the late Gerhard).
Andy was a long time construction inspector for the city of Philadelphia. Most notably overseeing the restoration of city hall tower.
For over 40 years he was a musician with the Heimatklange Band. He loved entertaining with his “ Kumbels” on and off the stage at all the venues where they played.
He was a member at many of the local German American clubs but his love was with the United German Hungarian Club in Oakford, Pa. At UGH he served in almost every position including President. Always there at every function or to help on any project. He was the club’s one man welcoming committee, making sure everyone felt at home.
Known as Opa by all the soccer players, youth and adult alike, he loved his soccer Sundays. He would watch all the games but especially enjoyed his grandson’s games. Afterwards he would spend hours talking to all the players while enjoying his Obstler and cigar.
“As proud as I am of my German heritage, I was born an American, served as an American and shall die as an American.”
Services and interment are private. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Wounded Warrior Project at www.woundedwarriorproject.org or download the general online form and mail to Wounded Warrior Project, P.O. Box 758516, Topeka, Kansas 66675-8516
A celebration of his life and internment of remains in a military cemetery will occur at a later date.
