Racine – Andrew David Czajkowski, 65, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Saturday, May 20, 2017. He was born in Racine on March 26, 1952, son of the late Stanley and Maxine (Née: Forss) Czajkowski.

Andrew was united in marriage to the love of his life, the former Merrilee Mae Berner, on October 29, 1983.

Andrew graduated from J.I. Case High School in 1969. He proudly and faithfully served his country in the United States Navy Reserve. Andrew was employed by Bosch for 30 years until they closed. He was currently an Arneson assembler for Twin Disc and an assistant manager for AutoZone.

Andrew had a passion for hot rods, racing and was a member of the NHRA. He absolutely loved his 1956 Chevrolet Nomad. Andrew enjoyed attending car shows and swap meets. He was always there for anyone in need and would give you the shirt off his back. Above all, Andrew loved his family tremendously and loved spending time with his only granddaughter, Milee.
