Andrew Muniak Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 9, 2018.
Andrew Muniak, Jr, 70, passed away Saturday, July 7, 2018. He was born May 13, 1948 in Passaic, NJ and grew up in Saddle Brook, NJ. He married Linda Wells on December 3, 1972 and moved to Barnegat, NJ in 1974 where he resided until his passing.


His parents Mary & Andrew Muniak, Sr. preceded him in death. He is survived by his wife of 46 years Linda and loving children Meghan Muniak of Stafford Township, NJ and Andrew Muniak III and wife Andrea of Barnegat, NJ.


Andrew was a partner along with his wife in Muniak & Muniak, Public Accountants for 37 years. He was a graduate of Rickard Stockton College of New Jersey. He served as chair and vice-chairman of the Barnegat Township Planning Board during multiple terms over 15 years. He was Treasurer and Advisor to the Barnegat Soccer Club for 30 years. He also was at various points a member of the Knights of Columbus, Stafford Lions Club, and the Stafford Kiwanis Club. Andrew was a Marine Corps reservist.


Andrew loved Mickey Mouse and Walt Disney World, with his favorite ride being the Jungle Cruise and its absurdly dry brand of humor, and his favorite Disney film being Fantasia. He had a real love for nature and plants and flowers; most visibly manifested in the care he took of his backyard, where he would often spend most summer nights with Linda smoking a cigar and listening to music. Above all he loved his family, and did all he could to never leave them wanting. He was always eager to support his children's activities in and out of school and cherished the family vacations.


There will be a viewing at Thos. L. Shinn funeral home in Manahawkin, NJ on Wednesday, July 11 from 5-8 PM and another brief viewing on Thursday July 12 at 10 AM before a processional to St. Francis of Assisi in Brant Beach for mass at 11AM.

In lieu of flowers the family kindly asks donations be made to The Nature Conservancy in Andrew's honor. https://www.nature.org

Dear Meghan, Andy and Linda, sending my deepest sympathy and love to you all. Your Dad was so wonderful and patient. I cannot tell you how much he saved my business 8+ years ago. When Patti told me she found a local accountant she liked we jumped on it. The patience of a Saint is what your Dad had as he saved my business from an ex employee's mayhem while taking the time to explain EVERYTHING to me. He spent countless hours in our office going over a plan and how to make everything right. Not only was he a wonderful man he was our friend. Even the office dogs loved him! We have never seen the office Chihuahua snuggle with ANYONE, Little Andy can attest to that. HA HA Much love to all, we have you in our hearts and prayers. xoxo Amanda & Mike Gagnon and all at Abaco Corp.

Dear Meghan and Andy, please accept my deep felt sorrow for the passing of your Dad, Andrew, Sr. He was so kind and accommodating to me when I came to get my taxes straighten out. You all did a wonderful job, and his experience and depth in the business was most appreciated. I am eternally grateful - Mike Randall - A Lock & Key.

Mrs. M., Andy & Meg:
Our heartfelt condolences to you all.
Andy & I worked together for the last 8 years & one thing I will always remember is him coming to our office to help us transition to a new accounting program... he definitely had patience with us as it was not an easy task he took on. Through it all he always maintained is professional composer even when we battled things.
We have work dogs and even they loved when he visited, although one of the dogs always wanted to sit on his lap...As time went on we all grew to know him as DAD... and that he certainly was. He gave advice whenever I spoke to him whether it was work or personal. He was funny, kind, personable and always told you the truth, good or bad. "Dad, May the good Lord's perpetual light shine upon you now & forever and may you dance upon the stars. I will truly miss you and your laugh... Love ya"
