Andrew L. Shady
May 25, 1937 — April 21, 2021
On April 21, 2021, Andrew L. Shady, 83, was peacefully lifted into eternal joy and peace, joining Our Heavenly Father and his beautiful wife Caroline (Dana) Shady in Heaven.
Andy was born to Leone (Mason) and Andrew Shady on May 25, 1937 in Johnson City. Losing his mother at one year old and his father at 13, he had many family members who helped to raise him, including his second set of parents, Jean (Shady) and Douglas Stover. After graduating from Newark Valley High School as an accomplished basketball player, Andy joined the United States Marine Corps, where he served his country with great honor.
Andy met and married the love of his life, Caroline in 1960. Lasting 54 years mostly on “the hill” in Triangle, NY, and later in Woodruff, SC.
During the course of his career, he was very successful in the photo album business, retiring as the Eastern VP of Traditional Industries. Later he owned a few other small businesses with Carolyn where she became known as the “Rock Lady”.
Andy definitely made lasting impressions on all who met him with his welcoming smile, booming voice, contagious laugh, and his huge heart.
Andy was predeceased by an infant son; his parents; his sisters, Patricia (Don) Faul, Darlene (Lyman) Watkins; sister and brothers-in-law, Phyliss (Melvin) Case, and Cloyed Dana.
Andy is survived by his children, Andrew (Tammy), Todd (Cookie), and Jodi (Scott) Shephard; grandchildren, Kristen (Sean) Shady, Megan (Scott) Fabrizi, Sierra Shady, JJ (Davidson), Michelina Shady, Stephanie, Cassidy (Rohit), and Elijah Shephard; great-grandchildren, Zayne (Sierra) Shady, Andrew Joseph and Liam (Megan) Fabrizi, Willamina and Gwendolyn Grieve (Stephanie), and the newest addition born April 15, 2021, Adelaide Zelda (Kristen); sister, Carol (Sandra) Shady; sister-in-law, Jeanette Dana; and many special nieces, nephews, cousins, lots of friends he considered family, and his Dog Skip.
Loving polkas, martinis, the Yankees, and a good political debate, Andy “Shades” was loved and will be missed by many.
Arrangements by Cremation Society of SC-Westville Funerals in Greenville, SC will be May 4, 2021, at 11 am and in NY at the family’s convenience.
