Born on November 1, 1923 in Carroll, Iowa, Andrew Frank Schmitz was the son of John T. and Anna (Hackfort) Schmitz. He attended Webster Independent Country School which was across the road from his family’s home and then attended St. Mary’s School in Willey. Andy served in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict and upon his honorable discharge returned to the Willey area. He and his brother Louis farmed together from 1953 until retirement in 1986. In 2008, Andy moved to Carroll. He enjoyed fishing, trapping, gardening and being outdoors walking. An avid Detroit Tigers fan, Andy could name each of the starters from the 1935 World Series Team. He also enjoyed reading, paying attention to the stock market, and spending time with his nieces and nephews. Andy was grateful for the successes he had in life and was always motivated to give back. He quietly contributed to many causes and organizations over the years. His legacy of giving will continue through the Andrew F. Schmitz Charitable Trust. He was a faith filled man, livelong member of St. Mary’s Parish in Willey and member of the Carroll American Legion. Andy was proud to have been able to own the family century farm which was purchased by his parents in 1913. The last surviving child of ten, he lost his father at the age of seven, his mother successfully guided the family through the depression. Andy will be remembered as a kind man, who was a father figure, teacher and friend to many. Andy is survived by his sister-in-law, Betty; many nieces, nephews, and friends.
