Greg was born August 7, 1962 in Topeka, KS, to Harold and Shirley Rhudy Andler. He grew up on a farm near Holton and graduated from Wentworth Military Academy in Lexington, Missouri, in 1981. He attended Cowley County Community College, where he played football, and then went on to Washburn University. Greg worked for Powell Masonry and Morton Buildings before dedicating 28 years of service to Wal-Mart. At Wal-Mart, his natural inclination toward helping others guided his career, and over the decades he developed many lasting relationships with coworkers and customers alike. He was a true servant of the Lord, and was a dedicated congregant at First Baptist Church of Hoyt, serving in many capacities over the years. His family and friends were most important in his life. He was a devoted husband, father, and Papa. To know Greg was to be his friend. He was selfless, hardworking, ornery, generous and gifted with an easy-going sense of humor. His work ethic was one of his strongest traits, and he passed it on to his children and grandchildren. Greg was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing, woodworking, and tinkering with various projects in his barn workshop. Greg was united in marriage to Kathleen Powell on November 20, 1987 in Topeka. She survives of the home. Other survivors include his children Ryan (Jessica) Devlin of Long Island City, New York, Heather Droge of Topeka, Trent (Kay) Andler of Delia, and Jesse (Liz) Kutina of Denver, Colorado; his grandchildren Jordan (Brandon) Devlin, Wren and Wilder Devlin, Payton Droge, Raegan and Harper Andler, and Brody and Piper Kutina; his parents Bill and Shirley Slimmer of Topeka; brother Brad (Jaimee Lynn) Andler of Bentonville, Arkansas; step-sister Melva (Dan) Pruent of Florida; and numerous nieces and nephews. Greg was preceded in death by his father Harold Andler, brother Scott Andler, and step-sister Marcia Barnes. A drive by memorial will take place on Saturday, May 9th from 2-4 p.m. in front of the Royal Valley Elementary School. Honoring his request, cremation is planned. A Celebration of Life will be scheduled at a later date. Memorial contributions may be given to the First Baptist Church of Hoyt c/o Mercer Funeral Home, P.O. Box 270, Holton, KS 66436.
