Norman Andrzejewski, 82, passed away on Sunday, October 1, 2023, at home surrounded by family after a courageous battle with Gastric Cancer.  Andrzejewski was the Area Administrator of the NYS Office of Health Systems Management for the central part of the state, and founded the charity Operation Southern/Northern Comfort. He is survived by his loving wife of 61 years, Maureen Ruth Jones Andrzejewski, who he considered the CEO, CFO and glue of the Andrzejewski family.

Norm is also survived by sons; Thomas (Jane Sung), Stephen (Catherine Stiff), Matthew (Anna Vemer) and daughters; Susan Tauro, Janet Andrzejewski (Jim Kimber), and Linda Andrzejewski Weber (Mark Weber). He is also survived by, and has been incredibly proud of, his thirteen grandchildren; Julianna, Eden, Helena, Stasia, Isaac, Andrew, Elizabeth, Natalie, Luke, Theo, Todd, Leigh and Kristin.

Norm was born in 1940 in Buffalo, New York and graduated from Canisius College and Tulane University, where he earned his MPH. He lived in New York City, Salt Lake City UT, Helena MT, New Orleans LA and Columbia MO before settling in Liverpool NY to raise a large family with Maureen. He was fortunate to travel the world, visiting countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas.

Norm's trademark phrase is "It's a beautiful thing." He always saw the good in people and was eternally optimistic. He could always see how to help people, and had fun doing it.

Calling hours will be held on Saturday, October 14, 2023 from 1:00 to 4:00 pm at Maurer Funeral Home Inc., 300 Second St, Liverpool, NY 13088.

A celebration of Norm's life is being planned for later this year.
