Andrew Krestel Obituary
Napels, FL
Andrew George Krestel, 95 years young, loving and devoted husband of Shirley and father of Dennis and Deena passed away April 19, 2019.
Andrew was born in New Castle, PA, to the late Andrew and Anna Krestel. Survivors include: Shirley Krestel (wife), Dennis Krestel (son), Deena Krestel-Rickert (daughter).
He was preceded by his brother Robert Krestel. He will always be remembered as making people laugh and smile, a great golfer who loved to dance. He was a loving, deeply caring man and an executive at Babcock & Wilcox Steel Tubular Products Division. He is to be saluted for being a brave WWII veteran, always concerned about the good for our country, who left this world a better place by being in it. A great void is left in all our hearts - our love for him will live for eternity.

Janice and Vernon Brown send our condolences to you Shirley. Andy was a great guy (and you a great lady) and I always enjoyed playing golf with him which I did many times. His knowledge of the golf rules was unlimited. He and you will be greatly missed at Stonebridge.
Sorry we missed the funeral, but because of Janice's surgery, we were unable to attend,
