Andrew ( Andy ) Palovchek beloved by his family, passed away peacefully on March 20, 2025. He was born on July 10, 1930, the fourth of five sons of Andrew and Anna Palovchek. Andy was raised in the Byram section of Greenwich. He started working at an early age, while still in school, to help make ends meet. At Greenwich High Andy played football. He was a lineman on the 1946 team which won the State Championship. His favorite sport however, was Baseball. He was a catcher and outfielder, and was elected captain his senior year. After graduation, Andy enlisted in the U.S. Army. He was a Korean War Veteran. Andy and his late wife Bertha were married in 1954. Both of them always did their best to provide a better life for their family. Andy retired in 1995 from the Connecticut Natural Gas Co. Although he was not comfortable in crowds, he brightened the lives of his family and friends. He was always happiest being outside, whether simply mowing the lawn, using his snowblower, taking walks, or talking to neighbors. Andy remained determined, and was never afraid of hard work. He always wanted to help out his family and friends. Perhaps the best example of his unselfish nature was the care he took of his wife, as her health declined in her final years. Andy is survived by his son Mark, daughter Christa and her husband Frank, grandsons Marc, Kyle, and Matthew, a brother Richard and his wife Fernande, a niece Janet, her daughter Robin and son Kevin. In addition to his wife Bertha and parents, he was predeceased by his brothers Paul, William, and Edward. The family would like to Thank the staff at Civita Care Center at Long Ridge for the care and devotion they showed to Andy and his family. In accordance with Andy’s wishes there will be no calling hours. A graveside service will be held at Greenwood Union Cemetery for the family.
