Many friends and neighbors

Andrew Chmieleski was raised along with 12 brothers and sisters and was turned over to an orphanage at age 6 where he was raised by the nuns. He joined the Army and fought in the Korean War. He then became an Iron Worker and retired after 36 hard years. Andy spent his retirement enjoying family and hobbies. He never would miss a birthday party or Holiday celebration. He loved working with his hands and helping his children in their homes, building, plumbing, tiling or laying sod. He was always there when help was needed. He loved his family, friends and neighbors.
