Andrew J. Steel

Andrew Joseph Steel, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and brother, passed away September 10, 2003 after a short but valiant battle with cancer. Andy was born in Bridgeport on March 31, 1929, the first child of Alexander Scotland Steel and Josephine Steel. He attended school in Bridgeport and graduated from Bassick HIgh School in 1947.

Andy served his country during the Korean Conflict with the 24th Army Engineers. Upon his return from the service, he became employed by the Moore Special Tool Company where he was a loyal employee until his retirement in 1991.

Andy served the Lord as an Elder of the Westminster Presbyterian Church and later a deacon of the Covenant Church of Easton.

Andy was a gentleman and a gentle man. He enjoyed sports, pitching baseballs to his grandson, spending time with his family, and watching the clouds drift by on a summer day.

Andy is survived by his devoted wife of 49 years, Marilyn; his children, Karen, Debra and her husband Carl, Barbara and her husband Bret, and the sunshine of his senior years, his grandson, Andrew; two sisters, Barbara and Harriet and two brothers, Frank and Louis; and many cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. Andy was predeceased by his parents, his stepfather, Louis, and two brothers, Robert and William.
