Former Murietan Andy Schultz dies at 81
Published November 12, 2007
Andrew Lloyd Schultz and his wife, Ruth, were Murietans for almost 20 years before they moved to Vacaville in 2006 to be closer to family and the medical facilities that supported Mr. Schultz's needs in his later years. Mr. Schultz was surrounded by his family when he died Nov. 2 at the age of 81.
Andy and Ruth Schultz met many new neighbors and friends after falling in love with the Rancho Murieta lifestyle and moving here from the Bay Area in 1987. There were three generations of the family represented in the community, since Mr. Schultz' son Rob and his wife, Kerri, and their children reside here.
Mr. Schultz is remembered as a talented, creative and self-determined individual who used his skills as an artist and a craftsman to design and make toys and furniture, remodel houses, and landscape yards. He could fix anything from a zipper to an automobile, making it work and look better than new.
He shared his love of music with his children by teaching them traditional American folk songs accompanied by guitar and harmonica. He loved to dance and shared many a polka romp with his grandchildren, and he was a great joke- and story-teller who was always willing to use this talent to entertain family and friends.
Mr. Schultz's love of the outdoors leaves his family with many wonderful memories of camping, backpacking, hiking, fishing, boating and skiing.
Mr. Schultz was born May 14, 1926 in Milwaukee to Peter and Ona Schultz. Growing up in northern Wisconsin with his siblings during the Great Depression, he learned that hard work, determination and ingenuity were necessary for the survival of a poor family.
From a very young age, Mr. Schultz worked, learning to hunt, fish, trap, bale hay, milk cows and do any number of jobs that contributed to the family's survival. He attended a one-room schoolhouse in the woods, trekking uphill through the snow to get there. He went to high school in Prentice, Wis.
Leaving high school, Mr. Schultz attended a vocational school to learn welding. He worked at the Sturgeon Bay, Wis. shipyards in 1943, welding the hulls of liberty ships, corvettes and submarines.
Mr. Schultz served in the Army from 1944 to 1946 with the 220th Armed Engineers Construction Battalion. At the age of 20, he supervised 30 drivers, and the maintenance and repair of a fleet of motor vehicles and construction equipment for the combat engineering company.
After World War II ended, he returned to Wisconsin and obtained his private pilot's license, but he'd had the opportunity to see California during his time in the service, and, like many others, he decided to make it his home.
He met and married Alice Barber in Los Angeles in 1947. They raised three children and resided in the home they built in La Canada until 1972.
After becoming single again and moving to Northern California, Mr. Schultz met and married Ruth Hughlett Vanaudestrade in 1982. The couple lived in Moraga before moving to Rancho Murieta.
Together, the couple fashioned their homes and lifestyle so that the two families of grown children, spouses and grandchildren could enjoy being one family. The families organized vacations, holidays, birthdays and special outings to celebrate the happy events of life together.
Mr. Schultz began his professional career as a deputy sheriff in Los Angeles County. He reached the rank of sergeant, and then moved over to Los Angeles Superior Court as a court clerk. Eventually, he became the criminal court coordinator for 60 courts within the Los Angeles Superior Court system.
In 1972, Mr. Schultz moved to the Bay Area to take on the post of court administrator and jury commissioner for the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, until his retirement in 1976.
After retiring from the court system, Mr. Schultz worked for several years as a consultant in the computer industry and then established his own company, Automated Government Systems (AGS), with partner Walt Hatherly. AGS developed and installed computerized court management systems throughout California and the West.
During his career, Mr. Schultz served as president of the California Court Clerks Association and on several local and state judicial task forces and committees charged with recommending improvements to the court system.
Mr. Schultz is survived by Ruth, his wife of 25 years; sons Randy and Robert Schultz, daughter Deborah Faaborg, daughters-in-law Elena and Kerri Schultz, son-in-law Mike Faaborg, grandchildren David and Laura Schultz, Andrew and Lindy Schultz, Sarah and Robert Faaborg, and Faaborg step-grandchildren and their families, stepchildren Gerald Smith and fiancé Pamela Dews, Susan and Paul Terpolilli and their children, and Gina and Christopher Terpolilli; his brother, Peter Schultz of Sun Prairie, Wis.; his sister, Lesona of Missouri, and extended family residing in northern Wisconsin. Mr. Schultz was preceded in death by two brothers and a sister.
In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to the Alzheimer's Association of Northern California, 1060 La Avenida St., Mountain View, CA 94043 or by participating in a fundraising Memory Walk, information about which can be found at www.alz.org.
