To the Ruhland family:
Andy was our accountant for our business for over 20 years. We thought of him not only as our trusted accountant but as our friend. He was highly thought of in his profession and greatly admired as a person. It was truly our pleasure working with him over the years. He will be greatly missed. Our prayers are with his family at this time.

Although Andy was a year older, one could not miss the kind and caring human being he was to everone around him. The Kramer family was very fortunate to call him "family" when he married my dear cousin Loey. Whenever one saw them together the love of true "soulmates" was very aparent. No more pain, only happiness, Andy is reunited in heaven with Loey the "love of his life" and his mother and father. God BLess!

To Andy's Family
Remembering our days in Accounting School are very fond for me. My regret is that after a few years our class lost touch. Andy, as part of our class did his best to make sure all of us passed - always willing to "stay after" and make sure everyone got the day's lesson. Very dedicated to his education and for the few years after school that we kept in contact - very dedicated to his family. My sincere sympathies to all of his family.

Andrew Ruhland Children & God Children:
I can tell you that everyone that knew Andy was touched in their heart by the tender memories we have of him. The Horstman's (JoAnn, Jody, Jay, John) have so many unique situations that we will remember him forever. Just know that it will be impossible to soften your grief, but the recollections of his kindness will give you some relief in this time of mourning. He brought such compassion to my beloved JoAnn when she entered into heaven and knowing that comfort and peace he brought will never be forgotten. For time and space can never divide or keep your loved one from your side, he will always be remembered in the happy hours that he belonged to all of you. For Andy, narrow is the road and wide is the gate that will lead him into heaven to be reunited with his beloved wife Lois. John Horstman
