Andrew Hronich, Jr., age 72, passed away Sunday at Green Ridge Health Care Center in Scranton, after a longtime illness.
Born on December 21, 1949, and son of the late Andrew and Elizabeth “Betty” (Sopko) Hronich, Andrew was a graduate of the former Taylor-Moosic High School before attending the University of Scranton.
Andrew proudly served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War prior to his honorable discharge. After returning home, he worked for the Pennsylvania State Workers Insurance Fund for many years, prior to retirement.
He was formerly a member of St. Mary’s Byzantine Catholic Church in Taylor. Undoubtedly at peace and free from illness, Andrew will long be missed by his family.
He is survived by his siblings, Elizabeth “Liz” Cali and husband Louis of Tamarac, FL. and James Hronich and wife Mary of Taylor; a niece and cousins.
Blessing services and burial will be at St. Mary’s Byzantine Catholic Church Cemetery, Taylor, with full military rites by the AMVETS Honor Guard.
