May 16, 1958 — June 24, 2023

Andrew J. Schmalzried, Sr, age 65, died suddenly at his home on June 24, 2023, in Franklinton, NC. He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on May 16, 1958, to his parents, Harry J.

He leaves behind his sons and their families, Andrew J.

He enjoyed working on classic cars with his sons and grandchildren, listening to music, and spending time with his family. Andy made friends wherever he went. He loved to share stories about growing up in Philadelphia and about his life with his wife. He loved taking his grandchildren to different sporting events and practices and cheering them on.


He was predeceased by his parents and his loving wife, Debbie.
