Andrew Bonsal Obituary

Andrew S. Bonsal
NORTH AUGUSTA - With a grateful heart we celebrate the life of Andrew Schoonmaker Bonsal. Known as "Sandy" by his family, he was the son of William Roscoe Bonsal III and Patricia Schoonmaker Bonsal. Andrew grew up in Southern Pines, and spent most of his adult life as a resident of the Central Savannah River Area of South Carolina and Georgia.
Andrew was a skilled master carpenter, building fine homes and performing renovations throughout the area as Bonsal Construction. He enjoyed being the breadwinner for his family and liked staying busy with projects at work and at home.
Andrew loved his family and friends deeply, and was proud of the home he created. Andrew's son, Jonathan Bonsal, of North Augusta, S.C., is grateful for prayers and love sent his way. Andrew will also be missed by his siblings, William R. Bonsal IV and Kate Almy Bonsal. Former spouses, Victoria and Patricia were of great help to Andrew and Jonathan. Daughters, Crystal and Natalie provided love that helped float Andrew home; and their amazing kids, Moya, Vin and Sophie sent good thoughts and prayers to their Papa.
We will reach out to friends for a gathering to commit Andrew's remains soon.
Andrew's family is grateful for the patience, kindness and care he received from PruittHealth Hospice. Every staff member and clinician treated him as family. We ask that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the PruittCares Foundation, so they can assist hospice patients with financial difficulties through the Family Outreach Crisis Grants Fund. Donate at tiny.cc/gb3n001 or send to: PruittCares Foundation, 1626 Jeurgens Court Norcross, GA 30093.
Fairhaven Funeral Home of Georgia is serving the family.
