Andrew Wrobel Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Andrew Stanley Joseph Wrobel, 64, left us unexpectedly on February 26, 2017, surrounded by his family in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Andy was born on October 31, 1952 to Genevieve and Stanley Wrobel in Detroit, Michigan. Growing up, his father had built a vacation home on Harsens Island, Michigan where his family spent summers enjoying the Island and Lake St. Clair. It was on a sailboat in the St. Clair River in 1981 that he first met the love of his life, Susan. They eventually married and moved to Harsens Island full time to raise their family. Andy wore many career hats throughout his lifetime, but he always returned to his true passion of driving truck. He loved the road and seeing the country, but most of all he loved all the new people he would meet every single day. He was a humble but not shy man who always lent an ear but was happy to talk one off as well. Ever the big kid at heart, he loved spending time with his grandkids and his dogs. It wasn't a rare sight to see him and his weimaraner, Ollie, cruising the Island just to deliver friendly "hellos." This man and best friend duo were famous daily for either their good cheer or being a good-natured nuisance. He was a happy and good man, who loved and was proud of his wife and his family. His memory will be cherished by all those that knew him. He was survived by his beloved wife Susan (Hemenger) Wrobel, his sister Kathy Hunn, his brother Bud Skowronski, his children: Angela (Joey) Mann, Rob Kabel, Christen (Michael) Geremesz, Alexandra Wrobel, Anna Wrobel and his grand-children: Tiffany Mann, Tyler Mann, Tori Mann, Joanna Geremesz and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by, his parents, his brother Paul Wrobel, son James Kabel and dog Ollie. A celebration of Andy's life will be held March 11, 2017, 10:30am at Our Lady on the River Parish, St. Mark, 4190 Green Dr., Harsens Island, MI 48028. Luncheon to follow at the Harsens Island Lions Club, 230 LaCroix Rd., Harsens Island, MI 48028. The family asks that lieu of flowers you offer a donation to the Humane Society of St. Clair County http://humanesocietysnap.com/
