Andrew Peter "Andy" Traxel

Our heartfelt condolences go out to Andy's family for your loss. We all expected Andy to be with us for a lot longer. He was too young and he will be missed.

I worked with Andy in Application Engineering for the first 15 of his 25 years at Briggs & Stratton. Andy was always considered a very knowledgeable and capable engineer. Andy was the type of engineer I always wanted on my team. We didn't always see eye-to-eye, but I always valued and wanted to hear his perspective. He...

The Wisconsin BMW Motorcycle Club will truly miss Andy as a friend and longtime member.

Everyone that knew Andy thought he was a terrific guy. He never hesitated to be a friend and to use his vast knowledge of motorcycle machinery to help others with repairs and tune-ups.

This member of the Jasinski family will certainly miss Andy. He was always a great guy to be around, and was generous, unselfish, and caring, for what he did for others.
He was supportive of Julie's neices and nephews activities. I think when I go to my son's little league game this summer, I may just "see" him sitting in the bleacher watching it with his camera ready.
I will miss the way he annunciated, so clearly, the name of the person that he spoke to and made them feel special.

Andy brought a great spirit to the many Jasinski gatherings he attended, he will be missed. Thanks for bringing joy to Julie's life, and for all the lives you've touched.

Deepest condolences to all. So glad we got to see Andy and Julie at our gathering, December, 2010. we'll so miss that perpetual smile and distinct voice of his but, we'll remember fondly. May your fond memories comfort you.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I worked with Andy during his earlier years at Briggs. His wealth of knowlege as an Engineer benefited everyone he worked with. He spent many hours volunteering for Al's Run every year. I had the pleasure of working with him for several years on this on charity. He soon became the 'go to guy' for many events that he was involved with. I'll miss our discussions of restaurants and food in Milwaukee.

I'm sad to see Andy go. He was a great help to me (and Toro Commercial) over many years. He touched many of our products.

So sorry for your loss. It sounds as if Andy was a very lucky guy, having people who care about him so much. Wishing you all peace and comfort.
