Andrew's obituary

Andrew Paul Rusinak - husband, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend - passed away suddenly at home in Glendale, CA on Wednesday, December 8. He joins his brothers, Marty and Tom, and sister, Mary Jo. He will be remembered for his love of music, Chicago style pizza and hotdogs, all things sci-fi, bell bottoms, suspenders, and his ability to lead a raucous hootenanny.

Born March 5, 1951 in Chicago, first-born to Mary Joann Reading (Rusinak) and Andrew Cyrillus Edward Rusinak. He is survived by his wife, Patricia Grogan, his brothers Anthony Rusinak (Wendy), Mark Rusinak (Dorothy), Kevin Grogan (Ann), and sisters Kay Kueltzo (Craig) and Lynn Montour (Butch). He leaves eight nieces, five nephews, seven great-nephews, and four great-nieces.  

His ashes will be scattered at sea off the coast of San Diego in the spring of 2022 followed by a celebration in Chicago later in the year. Details to come.

 Please don’t send flowers. Instead, consider donating to Misericordia - Heart of Mercy, Chicago, IL ,  the National Association of Free Clinics or your local PBS station.
