Andrew Sisco

Andrew "Andy" Sisco, age 82, passed away unexpectedly yet peacefully at home on Monday, December 2, 2024.

Andy was born in Paterson to his father Andrew, a Paterson Police Officer, and his mother Regina, a nurse. Andy was the eldest child and had four younger sisters, Pat, Noreen, Clair and Joann, all of whom he loved and cherished deeply. Andy graduated from St. Mary's High School in 1959, having played on the school's baseball and basketball teams and captained their cross country team.

Andy and his wife, Roberta Reid, met as teenagers, having grown up only two blocks apart in Paterson. They were married at Saint Bonaventure's Church on October 6, 1961 and remained devoted to one another up until the time of Andy's passing. Andy and Roberta were blessed with two sons, Kevin and Kenneth.

Andy dedicated his professional career to the supermarket industry. He started working at the ACME on Union Boulevard in Paterson as a teenager before eventually working his way up to managing a number of supermarkets throughout northern New Jersey. During that time he owned and operated the Royal Economy in Bloomingdale and the Food Barn in Randolph. Andy capped off his career as the owner and operator of an Arnold Bread Route.

Andy was a man of simple pleasures and love for his family. He was a great dad and even better grandfather. Nothing gave him greater joy than spending time with his grandchildren, Maclaine, Brindley, Holly, Drew and Jack. Earlier this year, Andy was blessed with a great-grandson, Kieran, who he would Facetime with on a daily basis.

Simply put, anyone who ever had the pleasure of meeting Andy would all tell you the same thing, he was the best. And they were correct.
