Andy Bruinsma, our joyful, loving and God-fearing husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, went to be with the Lord on October 1, 2020 in the presence of the Lord, at the age of 80. Andy was born in Uitwellingerga, Netherlands on September 24, 1940, to Albertus and Trijntje Bruinsma. He immigrated to the United States in 1957 and moved to California where he made his home and raised his family. Andy was proud to serve his country in the US Army. He became a US citizen in 1965 and loved being an American. Andy married his wife, Frances (nee Kuiphof), of 56 years in 1964. He owned and operated Bruinsma Floor Coverings until he retired. He loved God with his whole heart and his goal in life was to tell everyone he knew about his friend Jesus.
