Andrew P. Sarchio, age 69 of Wayne, died suddenly on Saturday, February 9, 2013.
Andrew grew up in Passaic and Clifton before moving to Toms River as a teenager. He graduated from Brick Township High School with the class of 1961. Shortly thereafter he enlisted in the U.S. Army and proudly served for three years, stationed for the most part in Germany. Andrew enjoyed his time in the Army and seeing his son build a career in the Army achieving the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, and as an attorney making Andrew a very proud father indeed.
After the Army, Andrew earned his Master’s Degree in Social Science. He began working with the North Jersey Developmental Center in Totowa and after almost thirty five years of a very rewarding career, he retired in 2007. Andy had been polishing his golf game since retirement and enjoyed golfing at the North Jersey Country Club.
Andrew also enjoyed traveling. St. Thomas, Jupiter, Florida and of course, his beloved Jersey Shore were among his favorite places to vacation. Since his retirement, he enjoyed time at his home with his wife Gina.
Andy had a knack for making great Martinis, an appreciation for fine foods and quality wine. His favorite restaurant was LuNello’s, and the chef never disappointed Andrew. Music was also huge part of Andy’s life, ever since he was a boy. He played the saxophone well and had been taking mandolin lessons recently. His musical tastes were eclectic; classical, jazz, 40’s and 50’s band music. He could listen to just about anything.
About twenty years ago, Andrew met Gina Diamond at a Society of Human Resources meeting. Their meeting was the beginning of what would be a long and wonderful relationship. For those that knew Andrew know that he was simply a wonderful man, he was kind, generous and caring. They fell in love and were married on July 22, 2007; Andy’s birthday. They loved each other dearly and had been anticipating their sixth anniversary this summer.
Andy is survived by his beloved wife Gina Diamond of Wayne, his son; Chad Sarchio and his wife Christina of Alexandria, Virginia, and two grandchildren: Evan and Raquel.
