Andrew M. Slivka “Andy” age 77 of Hamburg on Saturday, March 15, 2008. He passed away at Valley Hospital after a courageous struggle with his health. His passing was quiet and peaceful while having received the loving care of his wife Nancy Lou who was at his bedside every day.

He was born in Paterson and had lived in Clifton, Wayne and Kinnelon before moving to Hamburg two years ago.

Andy spent his formative years in Clifton where he received his formal education at Clifton High School graduating with the Class of 1948. He then went on to study Criminal Justice at Farleigh Dickinson University in Rutherford for two years.

He was the owner of Kleer-View Incorporated which served many customers cleaning windows. His company was a continuation of a service first owned by his father Andrew Slivka Sr as well as his late brother William Slivka. He was a very hard worker and operated the business for the past forty years.

Andrew was affiliated with the Jacksonville Chapel in Lincoln Park.

For hobbies he enjoyed collecting baseball cards and League Bowling at Parkway Lanes in Clifton.

He leaves his family with many fond memories of a very loving husband, father and grandfather. Andrew was a true Family Man who provided well for his family. Perhaps the highlight of his life was the arrival of grandchildren whom he loved adoringly. He was gifted with a personality that displayed a very special and personable likeableness.

Andrew and Nancy Lou (nee Edwards) Slivka had a “loving and devoted” marriage together for fifty years.

Surviving are his loving wife Nancy Lou Slivka; one son Edward J. Slivka; two grandchildren Kristen Porretta and her husband Joseph and Jamie Genna and her husband Christopher.

He was predeceased by his brother William Slivka in 2006 and his cherished daughter Susan Lynn Slivka in October 1974.
