MAYENZET, Andre Born November 5, 1922 in Sion, Swit zerland. A huge community search contributed to Andre finally being discovered on July 3, 2006, near an animal trail above Three Arch Bay, two weeks after he disappeared. The loss of Andre has become a loss shared by many. Andre's absence has deeply affected the people who knew him and it has touched the people who took the time to search for him. Andre suddenly vanished, wandering between suburbia and nature after four years of never deviating from his regular route.

Where Andre was discovered, the surroundings are similar to his native, Switzerland in its vastness of terrain. The vista of the ocean is like a long view of what he saw off of the bridge of every ship he navigated with the stillness of ocean water as far as the eye can see. The spot where he died encompasses all of these elements: Birds singing, rabbits, ocean vista, sunrise and sunset on the horizon, a glimpse of the house that captured his ascent with video surveillance and a birds -eye view of the paved road leading home. As a navigator, this was the perfect spot to get his bearings and return home. While there, he was cradled and shielded by the prayers of people from many different communities.

Andre was an American citizen and served in the United States Navy in WWII, Seattle Police Department, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine. He was a much beloved husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather and colleague. He will be forever missed. Andre is survived by his daughter Maria and her husband Marvin and his grandson Alex. The Memorial Service will be privately held with only his immediate family in attendance.

The Hunter family and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints helped Andre's family in the search from the moment he was discovered to be lost until he was finally found. Donations can be made in Andre's memory to Bishop Christopher Wilson, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Laguna Beach Ward, 19 South Callecita, Laguna Beach, CA92651. Also in honor of Andre's memory, please have any family member who is at risk and who walks or hikes alone, get a GPS device to have with them. That is the one thing that could have saved Andre.
