Born on July 28, 1941, in Williamsport, he was the eighth child of the late Harvey W. Sr. and MaryJane (Stricker) Tressler.

Carol and Andy were wed on June 8, 1963, and shared over 55 years of marriage together raising three children, James (Robin) Tressler, of Jersey Shore, Steven Tressler, who passed away in 1989, and Susan (Tim) Entingh, of Waverly, N.Y.

Andy enjoyed bowling in local leagues for over 60 years, making many friends and was elected to the Lycoming County Hall of Fame in 2006. He served over 25 years on the local association board and recently as president, until his illness. One of Andy’s proudest accomplishments was a perfect 300 game in 1999, witnessed by his wife, son and daughter-in-law.
