Born Sept. 19, 1920 in Amberg, son of Rueben and Anna (Duca) Bolander, he grew up on a farm there and before the war worked in the Civilian Conservation Camps (CCC). He joined the United States Army on Sept. 8, 1942 and served during World War II with the 104th "Timberwolf" Infantry Divison, which was involved in operations in France, Belgium, Holland and Central Germany. He was honorably discharged on Feb. 2, 1946. He then married Joyce Olsen on Oct. 12, 1946 in Kingsford and she preceded him in death on April 16, 2009. He worked over 38 years for Niagara of Wisconsin Paper Company until his retirement in 1985.
A member of the Crivitz American Legion, he was an avid sports fan, enjoyed bowling, throwing horseshoes and watching sports and the Green Bay Packers. Active into his 80's, he was a member of the Dickinson County Hospital Walking Club logging over one thousand miles annually for several years.
He is survived by his children, Tom (Shelby) Bolander, of Iron Mountain, Jeanne Bolander, of Kingsford, Debra "Duba" (Jeffrey) Bussiere, of Iron River, Gail DeClark, of Niagara and Karen (Jim) Bolander-Murphy, of Minneapolis, Mn.; brothers, Bernard Bolander, of Arizona and C.M.

In addition to his wife, Andrew was preceded in death by a daughter, Kay and brother, Clarence.
