Adriano J. “Andy” Orsini passed away peacefully at age 85, surrounded by family and friends, on Saturday, July 11, 2015 after a long life, simply but richly lived.

He and his sisters came to America as children in 1939 with their parents, Gaetano and Assunta Orsini (Romeo and Sue), as war clouds loomed over Italy.

He graduated from South Union High School in 1948, then served his country Honorably in United States Army from 1949 to 1950.

Andy retired in 1990 from the company he founded, Laurel Exterminating, to focus on the life he loved —– hunting, gardening, hiking the woods, reading military history, and spending time with his cast of buddies and “heroes,” and his large extended family.

He was a member of Brownfield Methodist Church, Hutchinson Sportsmen’s Club, the Izaak Walton League of America Inc. Uniontown Chapter, the Grouse Association and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7219 in Fairchance, Pa.

He was preceded in death by his parents; and by brothers-in-law, Albert Ezzi and Anthony Trincia.

He is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Frances Cecchini Orsini; daughter, Gina Devito and husband Jim; son, Gaetano ‘Tano’; grand children: Matt McGregor and Molly McGregor; sisters: Fernanda Ezzi and Adelia Cicconi and husband Rich; grandson, Cory Crossland; his loving in-laws, the Cecchini family; and all of his wonderful nieces and nephews.

The family thanks everyone for their incredible care and support in the past few weeks, with special thanks to his nephew Lou Trincia who faithfully took care of him.

Friends are invited to the BROWNFIELD UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, 1429 Brownfield Road, Brownfield, PA 15416 for a Funeral Service on Tuesday, July 14, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. with Pastor Diane Olson officiating.

General George C. Marshall AMVETS Post 103 of Hopwood will accord Military Rites and Honors at the Church.

Arrangements are by the DONALD R. CRAWFORD FUNERAL HOME, HOPWOOD, Pa.
