He was preceded in death by his parents, Hilda and Leo J. Dressel; and brother Urb Dressel. Andy was a photographer for more than 20 years at Strem Studio, shooting weddings, portraits, and school portraits. He also had a successful career in industrial and freelance wedding photography. He was an active member of the Dormont Historical Society.
