Andrew Winkler Obituary
Louisville - Andrew Myrick Winkler of Louisville, age 74, passed away, Tuesday, June 19. He is survived by his sons, Carson Myrick and Andrew Philip Winkler (Vicki), grandchildren Justin, Miles, Carson, Vivian and Olivia Winkler, ex-wife Linda Winkler, all of Louisville, sisters Kitty Winkler and Phyllis Penner and nieces Courtney McColl (Lane) and Katey Penner (Rey) of Miami, FL. A graduate of The University of KY College of Law where he was selected for Law Review, Andy served as Federal Prosecutor for the IRS for 30 yrs. He was an avid reader, learner, and collector of fine things. His favorite author Mark Twain succinctly captured his life philosophy with this quote: "The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time." Andy lived his life fueled by his passions, which were many, and his peaceful passing reflected a life well-lived. Andy chose cremation with no ceremonies; however a private family celebration of his life will take place at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made to Frazier Rehabilitation Institute of Kentucky, www.kentuckyonehealth.org/jewish-hospital-st-marys-foundation. Ratterman Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 3800 Bardstown Road is handling the arrangements. Online condolences may be left at www.ratterman.com.

I knew Andy from elementary days at Belnap School until we graduated from Atherton High in '61. He was always a fun, loyal classmate and enjoyed life to the fullest. I was proud to read that my dear friend served his country as a federal prosecutor for the IRS for some thirty years. May God grant you, his family and friends, peace and comfort in the days ahead.
