Albert Andrew (Andy) Rueckert was called home on Aug. 24, 2001, after a courageous ba-ttle with cancer.
He was born on April 17, 1951. Andy married Debra Ann Reiley on June 27, 1970 and their mar-riage was later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. Andy was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He worked as a life planner agent for Liberty Mutual Life. He graduated from the University of Utah in 1973. Andy will best remembered for his love of the Yankees, and anything related to baseball. He had an unwittingly addictive sense of humor. Andy's greatest attribute is his love for his wife Debra and his love for his family. Andy had an uncanny ability to be able to put his family first in all he did.
He will be missed by his wife, Debra Ann Reiley, his six children, John (Amber), Dannah, Brandi, Chris, Richard and James. His mother Goldia Rueckert, his father-in-law, Robert Kirby Reiley, his (shorter) brothers, Thomas (Debbie), Michael (Kendra), James (Becky), David (Ann), Robert (Sarah), and Daniel. His sister-in-laws, Kathleen White (Bob), and Kim Reiley, and his 50 nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, Albert Adam Rueckert, his mother-in-law, Janice Alene Reiley and brother-in-law, Robert Kirby Reiley II.
