Obituary: Andy Sikula Sr. passed away June 4, 2013, from complications after a two-year battle with kidney failure.
He was born an identical twin on October 7, 1944, in Akron, Ohio. He attended Mogadore schools. He spent his high school years on the baseball diamond, football field and basketball court, lettering in nine sports. When not involved in sports, Andy helped his parents in the family greenhouse/florist business. He graduated from high school as salutatorian.
After high school, he and his twin attended Hiram College on full academic scholarships, played football and were residence hall assistants. He immediately followed with graduate work, attaining his MBA and Ph.D. from Michigan State University. Andy's passion was business ethics. He served as professor, associate dean or dean at five state universities. His last 14 years were at Marshall University as associate dean, director of the Graduate School of Management, Richard G. Miller Endowed Chair and professor of business administration. While at Marshall, Andy founded the DMPNA - Doctorate of Management Practices in Nurse Anesthesia - and was known in professional circles as the "Mother of Moral Management."
In 1980 Andy accepted a position as dean of the School of Business at California State University, Chico. In 1981 he met and married Judy Roe. Andy enjoyed living near water, either boating or just sitting and watching the activity on the water. He loved country music. He was starting a new career writing lyrics, and had several of his lyrics put to music.
He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Anna Sikula of Mogadore and his oldest brother, Gerald Sikula.
