In Memoriam: Red Bank Resident Andy Schlegel, 71

Red Bank resident Andy Schlegel passed away on April 18 at Riverview Medical Center. He was 71.

“Andy was an avid sports fan. He loved watching Notre Dame and NY Giants football games, and taught us all to love the NY Yankees.

“Although he never had children himself, in his younger days, Andy and brother Joe were known to take their sisters’ kids to the beach, the office Christmas party, and many other fun times, making wonderful memories.

“Andy was fun-loving, caring, and a very hard worker. He could always be found enjoying the backyard with a cold Coors Light and a book, sometimes sharing his sandwich with the dog. Always sporting a Hawaiian shirt, he loved a good July 4th BBQ and a water pistol fight! Andy was ready and willing, with toolbox or shovel in hand, to help his family and friends when they needed anything.”
