Andrew Norman Luria

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Andrew Norman Luria on April 8, 2025. Andy was born in Melbourne, Australia on December 30, 1953. Andy was a brilliant man who loved to listen to music, especially the Beatles, read great books, make interesting art, and watch classic movies. Above all, Andy loved a good conversation.



Andy lived most of his life in New Jersey -- from Verona, to Passaic, to Montclair, to Bloomfield -- and was an integral part of the fabric of this community through his varied occupations and friendships. He was a beloved brother, uncle, cousin, Godfather and friend to so many. He will be remembered for his love of sharing stories, laughing and willingness to lend an ear.



Andy is predeceased by his father, Dr. Milton Luria, his mother, Gertrude Herman Citron, and his beautiful niece, Dana Kovaric. He is survived by his sisters Linda Kovaric and Amy Luria, his nieces Vivienne and Danica DuBarry, his Goddaughter Nalani Farina, his dear friend and roommate Bob Farina, and many extended family and friends who love and miss him.



In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to the Bloomfield Public Library. A celebration of life will be held for Andy's family and close friends.
